obama will rotate those troops back into the US within the incubation period

Agree.

“So can they shoot when they come under attack from desperate machete wielding locals?”

Did you mean coughing locals?

No I meant rioting machete wielding locals. Lots of health workers have been hacked to death there.

This begs the question; are the troops we're sending over there even armed?

You have to look at what the military is doing to understand why they are sending the units they are sending, instead of guys in plastic suits from Fort Detrick.

Our guys are doing construction, logistics, training classes.

Those 100 Marines and sailors are in aviation and logistics, they will be replaced by the Army in a few weeks, engineers and Seabees are there by the hundreds.

The 101st Airborne people are going to be the headquarters element to coordinate these complex and diverse elements and operations, and air transport, and various elements from different units and branches of the military , and the building of the treatment centers.

If they off a bunch of military the chances of a coup greatly decrease, no?

I’m afraid of what they will do without the threat of a consitution bound military.

Per our constitution, the military is supposed to be for protecting and defending AMERICA, no?

The Department of Defense is out of its mind.

I hope someone breaks silence and admits that they’re being ordered to do this by an insane leader.

I don’t know obama’s motives but it is a good chem-bio warfare training opportunity.

A friend of mine is in the Air Force.

He was going to get out but his wife talked him into staying because he’s only a couple of years away from full retirement.

His brother was Army, he hadn’t been in very long so he got out.

Both said it was obvious right from the start of the Obama adm he was trying to force people out that weren’t Obamabots.

Depopulation has been planned for years. Longer than the kenyan’s been in wh. Its underway.
Obama hates America, Americans, US military, Christians.
He wants us all dead.
I think Almighty God has a surprise for Obama.
But I also think we will see mass death.

Freeprs - I dont understand ping

I think it is wrong to send the military into this. Volunteers are one thing. The military is designed to defend against military threats, not viruses. Missionaries and humanitarian organizations are the ones to help. Or send over those CDC professionals who claim it is so difficult to get ebola. Let them follow protocol and show everyone how it is done.

I think Obama and Co have a very high chance of catching it if we have an epidemic. Secret Service agent coughs around Obama? He catches it. Marines on AF1 Cough? Catches it.

They think they are immune, but really they in just as much danger as the rest of Americans. Their families too. One could argue this is spousal, and child abuse. Refusing to protect his “OWN” COUNTRY and FAMILY? What a guy. I think Malia has two dads. Would explain a LOT.

I knew the department would be a disaster when that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave chose Hagel as Secretary of Defense
