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.

Sane worldwide conventional wisdom says that when country’s Muslim population approaches 2 or 3 % they become a real problem.

It’s a good thing that the original ‘Band of Brothers’ are unaware of this.

of course not. can you think of a better way to infect the US while killing off our military?

our men and women will get infected and he’ll bring them back to be treated... which will spread it across the country

“If a service member does get sick, Rodriguez said they will be flown home immediately for treatment.”

More Ebola index cases. I guess a single Ebola case wasn’t enough to light the fire.

oh they wont be touching the people

and they wont be touching or be withing a 3 foot radius of anyone else who touched the people or anything the people touched (like the contractors and local labor force who will be building those hospitals and delivering those supplies

no sir, and they wont be touching anything the people touched (like money, or taxis, walls, stair railings or anything someone touched who had blood vomit or feces contact)

this in a country where pit latrines are high tech)

I want to see the good General who made this statement lead the way to Liberia in a mask and gloves with his bottle of GI issued hand sanitizer

Yeah, I love those posts.
They fail to consider that if one simple precaution had been taken and adhered to in the first place, a lot of this wouldn’t have happened.
Travel bans.

They are staying at local hotels and eating local food.

Right you are. And let me tell you how stupid I am. When I first heard of our troops going to west Africa, I automatically assumed they'd be setting up their own base, with their own food supply and with a strictly controlled perimeter.

How stupid I was to assume that.

The Obama administration is becoming an accessory to murder. Sadly, they don’t care. Its what they want. The ‘dem reps’ and ‘sens’ must be called out on this and reminded that they too are accessories before and now after the fact since they support this genocidal deployment. Burn up their phone lines and flood their e-mails.

“If a service member does get sick, Rodriguez said they will be flown home immediately for treatment.”

More Ebola index cases. I guess a single Ebola case wasn’t enough to light the fire. So apparently the Obama plan is to order a few thousand young Americans into the hot zone, get a bunch of to catch a lethal and virulent illness with no treatment and a 70% mortality rate, and then bring them back and distribute them into U.S. medical facilities here and there. (BTW, there’s only 11 beds total in the four Federal facilities designated to treat these kinds of dangerous and virulent illnesses.

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

.
He can do it because the RATS have his back and the rest of the congress critters don’t have the spine to do something about it.

He has been thumbing his nose at America since 2009.

Our military is staffed by volunteers in the lower ranks.

Guess what the impact of getting our troops infected will be.  The numbers of volunteers will drop to zero.

Obama is destroying our armed forces as surely as ISIS would love to.

Well, I guess electing principled people did matter afterall.

Refusing to vote against unprincipled people made Obama President.

The Pharisees who refused to vote for Romney have a lot to answer for. They made Obama President.

We are living in the world that those traitors have made.

Since this is an announced operation to battle Ebola, sending our troops without protection into battle at the complete mercy of the enemy is a WAR CRIME.

As a fact ...based on law- Obama, as president, works FOR us.

History will show that we either allowed him to ruin the country or that we wouldn’t allow it.

Those are the facts.

Anything else is defeatist, wimpy tripe

Why would they? In Obola’s world they are “expendable”.
