Unbelievable. Troops from the 101st Airborne Division will not receive full protective Hazmat suits for their mission in West Africa. They’re being sent to West Africa – but won’t get full protective Hazmat suits.

I’ve written that a friend of mine, and now a citizen, who is from Turkey asked why Americans don’t riot. I’ve concluded that not enough have ever experienced a dry well to be concerned enough to riot.

So long as the food ships and the power runs, no one will do crap.

No suits. Because it’s better to die than look scary.

So how do WE enforce that “law”? It is certain that the people who have been elected to uphold the law are ignoring it.

So what do WE do, besides vote, to enforce the “law”?

Please tell us. We are literally dying to know.

Yes, that is an Einstein comment. Well done. Well said.

Comfort is the enemy of courage. — Lazamataz, 2014

I suggest the comfort is evaporating. My Book says the end does not come amidst wars and rumors of wars but that the end comes as a thief in the night when the people proclaim peace and safety.

Sounds a bit like comfort doesn’t it?

Einstein, “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.”

*OR* they could be staying at local hotels like it says here:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/10/17/u-s-soldiers-get-just-four-hours-of-ebola-training.html

Further, the military acknowledges that it is currently sharing hotels and businesses with foreign nationals.

“We are here with the permission of the Liberian government and we do not clear out local hotels and businesses during our stay,” said an Army spokesman. “We chose hotels with the safety of our service members in mind, and the hotel staffs monitor all employees and guests and allow us to conduct safety inspections of their facilities to ensure they meet our safety criteria.”

Start by remembering the rule of law. They work FOR us. Congress is equal to the president.

Most people are so committed in their own lives to corruption however petty. They don’t have my will to fight it nor do they even recognize when they see it

One more quote from the article:

“The hotels are fairly well controlled in terms of access… They have a fairly well-structured screening process going in and out,” a Senate aide briefed by the Pentagon on the military’s procedures told The Daily Beast. “It sounds like they have an adequate level of screening and protective measures in place. That being said, once they move to a self-contained quarters, that will probably be better.”

The rule of law is based on principles and morality.

Until people stop inventing excuses for setting that aside, for the sake of victory, they should not be surprised that their victories bring situational ethicists and their situational ethics into power..

I still don’t see an answer to the question, What can WE do to enforce the law?

Congress is equal to the president. Is the individual congressman? Are you or I equal to the president. I don’t see that any of us as individuals are equal to any of the forces that offend us.

So I repeat, what do WE do to enforce the law that is being flaunted and by which we are being taunted and abused?

I’ve wondered in what sort of location our troops would be working and living. Ideally, they would be in an area with open space all around the hospitals they build and their living quarters, surrounded by good, strong fences.

It will be necessary to strictly control access to their areas. And, it would still seem that a Hazmet suit should be part of their standard gear, whether or not they need it on a frequent basis. Be prepared.

As designed by the founders, we can only elect principled/honest/good people to rep us. When we ignore that end ‘play politics’ vote ‘to win’ as the primary goal instead of to elect principled/honest/good people, we get our current situation.

All we can do is vote smarter as the founders intended or start RW2. And people that lack the ability to vote right arent about to go revolutionary when their big screen and Sunday football hangs perilously in the balance.

I get the feeling Obama is taunting we the people with his actions.

I've had that feeling since Barry Hussein Obola took office. He's just getting bolder now.

> So I wonder who the 160,000 hazmat suits were meant for?

Probably for ISIS and Liberians. Our soldiers nada. Their objective is probably to get infected and bring it back home to the states.

No, thats what the continued flights are for. this is simply a move to destroy public/troop morale and kill them off so they cannot threaten the new empire here at home.

Remember that libs ALWAYS overreach. Lets hope so.
