The 'Ebola President': Pentagon Defends Decision To Isolate Troops...

[paulitician]

Wow, another sad Obama debacle. Sending our Soldiers to fight Ebola? WTF? Must be a pretty rough time being a Soldier these days. With this buffoon as Commander-In-Chief. Seriously, you sign up to serve your country, and the dumbass President ships you off to fight Ebola. Not what you were expecting, to say the least. Ya have to feel for our Soldiers. It's a mess.


Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Thursday defended the Pentagon's decision to isolate troops for 21 days after they return from Ebola duty in West Africa.

Hagel earlier this week signed off on the recommendation from the Joint Chiefs of Staff that goes beyond guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Isolating troops for 21 days even without symptoms of the disease, Hagel said, was a "smart, wise, prudent, disciplined, science-oriented decision."

There are about 1,100 U.S. troops in West Africa helping to stop the Ebola virus, mostly in Liberia. The Pentagon may send as many as 3,900 troops. They are building treatment facilities and laboratories and training Liberian health care workers. U.S. forces are not expected to treat patients of the deadly virus, which has killed nearly 5,000 people in Africa.

Part of the reason to isolate troops is that they would be staying in the region longer than most medical workers, said Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Troops are expected to have six-month deployments to disease-stricken areas...

I believe it was wrong to use our military this way. We have voluntary groups that could go to Africa to do the jobs the military has demanded of the soldiers.

We would like to have a quality military resource but if this is the way ur military is going to be used, we can see fewer and fewer young men signing up for the task of questionable assignments that would being disease back to their families.

It would be interesting to see if fewer college recruits sign up for ROTC during this time.

It's a disaster. Our Soldiers aren't trained to fight Ebola. You would think a Commander-In-Chief would know that. Definitely not a good time to be an American Soldier. Would you sign up?

Yes they are.

They are experts at logistics. The best in the world.

You can pile medical supplies and doctors and nurses at the airports and docks all the live long day, and they won't do a bit of good if there is no logistical infrastructure set up. And that is exactly the problem in West Africa. They do not have the transport or medical facilities or tracking systems or any of the other myriad logistical requirements needed to beat this record outbreak down.

This is where the US military comes in. They have the needed skills and expertise to set up the command, control, and communications which will defeat Ebola.

Well of course the pentagon defends it's actions, might be a good idea though, some of those troops will um....fraternize with anything.

The soldiers are building facilities and training others, they are not treating patients. They are adequately trained for that. BTW, the Us military serves at the discretion of the President and the congress.

What ever happened to that anything, anytime, anywhere attitude.....or is it that that motto just doesn't happen to carry your water at this time.

Yeah well most of them didn't sign up to go to Iraq either, yes some dumb ass had to send them over there to destabilize the region.

American Soldiers don't belong fighting Ebola. It's not what they signed up for. Their 'Commander-In Chief' is a buffoon.

Actually, they did. It's exactly what they're trained for.

Our armed services, got that, ARMED SERVICES, are there to protect our nation, to go to war to protect this country from outside intervention, attack and fight on behalf of our people. Just how does going to a nation full of deadly disease to build facilities and train others fit into the description of the armed forces? It fits into the Peace Corpse. That's their gig and it's voluntary.

Nothing like a consistent message from Obama. Worst president ever.

I am retired military.

You obviously know nothing about what our Armed Services have been doing for over a century.

The military was sent to aid New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. The military was sent to Haiti to help after the earthquake. Our military has been helping to rebuild Iraq and Afghanistan. Our military was sent to assist Japan after their earthquake.

Look, folks, if you don't know jack shit about the military, I strongly suggest you keep your ignorance to yourselves instead of making fools of yourselves in public.
