That's the sad part. The poor SOB flees, allegedly to be married (If he does survive, they'd better not consummate that for a while)-- possibly infects a host of others and then dies...

Or is that just one scenario, the sugar-coated version we're supposed to buy?

Real enemies of the US would look to spot someone hauling a corpse in the Hot Zone with no PPE, and say:

"Hey, You!...Look, pal, you are a dead man walking. Tellya what, we'll pay you enough to keep your loved ones flush, buy you a ticket to the best doctors on the planet, and all you have to do is go there and party until the bug hits you, you know, go out on the town, press the flesh, do a couple of hookers, whatever turns your crank... and then maybe the best doctors and hospitals in the world will be able to save you, too. Whaddya say?"

Yep. They'd make 'em an offer they couldn't refuse.

At this point, I'm not believing anything, just waiting for the reports of "military training accidents" to start in three weeks or so...
