White House: ‘Not unusual’ for Ebola quarantine rules to differ for military, general population
Washington TImes ^ | October 28, 2014 | Tom Howell Jr

Posted on 10/28/2014 12:24:36 PM PDT by justlittleoleme

The Obama administration said Tuesday that a quarantine policy in place for Army troops leaving Ebola-stricken West Africa would not work for the civilian population — its latest attempt to explain the dissonance between its military policy and the criticism it doled out to states with strict solution measures in place for returning health workers.

President Obama has committed up to 3,000 troops to the fight against Ebola in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. Already, at a least a dozen troops have been isolated at a base in Italy, even as administration officials say quarantine rules in states such as New Jersey could dissuade health care workers from joining the fight in West Africa.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said it is more efficient for the military to be ordered into isolation, as thousands of them come and go from the front liens of the fight against Ebola. The military is ordered to do things, while aid workers volunteer.

Volunteered or Ordered..... They are all exposed and all should undergo quarantine. Its obvious his disdain for the military, and how they are somehow second class citizens.

Also in his press conference he just had.

He was asked about difference between quarantine rules for military and states.

He said "Military workers aren't treating patients. We don't expect to have similar rules for our military and civilians.

When we have volunteers going over there, we want to make sure that when they come back, we are prudent and they're not at risk."

Michael Savage picked up on this last week and expounded further just minutes ago. Savage speculates that there might be sort of a soft-coup going on, and the military is standing up to zero’s insanity.

already 12 military infected and watched at italian airbase, from west africa.

i guess the hand gel they were given for protection didn’t work. not kidding. that’s what they were given.

first we were told no direct contact with ebola infected. then later that changed and they would. no adequate or proper training. cdc still doesn’t know.

so effed up. on purpose. delberately.

11 U.S. soldiers put under Ebola quarantine in Italy after returning from Liberia: media

“A group of American soldiers have been put under Ebola quarantine after returning to a U.S. military installation in Vicenza, in northern Italy, from West Africa over the weekend, local reports said on Tuesday.

Though there was no indication that any of the team have symptoms of the deadly virus, 11 soldiers will be monitored for 21 days at a “separate location” at the installation, according to U.S. military officials quoted by ANSA news agency.”

The gov’t says when it comes to treating military and civilians for ebola “ it’s not unusual” for there to be differences. Obama administration “ebola czar” Tom Jones could not be reached for comment.

We are fully aware of what “the rules differing” means from this administration.

Different tactics are needed to manipulate different target populations.

It appears the Obama Administration considers hygiene to be something only required of “second-class citizens”.

They keep making the lame argument that isolation and quarantine are measures of “disdain” and “dishonor”.

At first, I thought this was a “tell” for ulterior motives, as they know something we don’t, and they want to preserve “ebola” as a scapegoat for future uncontrollable events.

The more I listen to their rationale, the more it appears they really do believe their own doublespeak and are some of the most bigoted, arrogant people since the dawn of humanity.
