We have the resources to do it. And it might actually be good training for our troops on dealing with biohazards.
The problem with the border and with the VA is not resources but political will. Both cases are sad and criminally negligent. But that’s the consequences of electing both a rat Senate and a rat POTUS.
Yes. There were resources at the VA, too
.....but they were not delivered in a timely fashion.
I’ve been in for over 20, and I may be biased, so take this with a grain of salt. Our NBC training is nothing like civilian or hazardous response training. Our job is to survive long enough to complete the mission in any environment. Think of it as a last great act of defiance.
Not exactly the mindset needed for a humanitarian mission that has no oversight and no strategic objective.
What is the purpose? Containment? Are we going to gun down victims as they attempt escape from quarantine? Are we going to guard medical facilities against mobs who are crazed and scared out of their wits? Who holds CNC? What are the ROEs?
Unless we are willing to set the rules, our troops will be ineffective unless you count it a success being guinea pigs. I, for one, don’t.
If you want to volunteer, I’ll be happy to help you.
