DOD Admission: Only One Plane Available to Transport Infected Soldiers Out of Africa, One at a Time, Four Per Week

I thought the government had a single plane to transport patients, but that it wasn’t equal to the one (or two) privately owned planes that we have been seeing so far that have brought in the missionaries and the others, those are supposed to be cutting edge.

The good news is that more are being put together as this problem has finally seemed to reach attention level, Germany will have some ready soon.

The Ebola virus debuted in 1976, so we’ve had, what—forty years to prepare for this? And they have one plane.

[LongWayHome]

We ceased being a serious nation years ago....the public is finally figuring it out.

[TigersEye]

How many DoD planes are at the ready to service M0 and Bo and Nanzi Pelozi and ..........?

[moviefan8]

This is sad. Pathetic.

I thought we were better than this.

N173PA. And, nope, it's not military.

What could possibly go wrong?

[PghBaldy]

Considering the rate that American doctors and nurses have gotten infected in Africa, I shudder to think what could happen to our troops.

[Iron Munro]

Sounds like Obama sent them there to stay.

Permanently.

Ping...

A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread

[Arthur McGowan]

Obama is sending the troops to Africa in the hopes that they will get infected, and either die there, or bring the virus back to the U.S.

[driftdiver]

Just put them on a commercial flight, it seems to work for those medical organizations.

[ZULU]

More insanity from the Lord of Misrule.

[bert]

But..... the State Department and CIA have priority.

A lowly soldier will get bumped if there is a vice Consul or covert operative also ebolaized. For soldiers, there might actually be no planes per week

[onedoug]

Let’s hear it for the COWARDS in the House!

From earlier this week:

• ArmyTimes: Isolation pods will carry troops if they get Ebola October 23, 2014 1:57PM

[SisterK]

One plane is moot point. Experts here said there was no way any troops would contract ebola as the airborne and infantrymen are busy building hospitals and stuff.

[Steven Tyler]

I think I understand.

We send 3,000 valuable trained troops to Africa.
The mission exposes these troops to a deadly disease.
If they get sick, we can evacuate only four per week.

Everything 0bama touches turns to sh1t

[Vermont Lt]

If the soldiers are infected in Africa, does anyone really believe they will be bringing them back?

That is delusional thinking.
