We are becoming more and more reliant on military for any energy both foreign and domestic .Basically money well spent; IMO. Obama relies on them more than any other president and you'd think he would want to increase their budget ;not spend less. Not to sure any one not volunteering should be sent to Liberia tho.
So this seems like a humanitarian mission on its face...or is it?
An Obama conspiracy to send 3,000 US soldiers and then let them get infected and come back to the USA to get the USA infected faster?
3,000 Soldiers : 1000 of those soldiers are from the 101st Airborne , while the other 700 will be mostly combat engineers. The mission will include building 17..... 100-bed hospital facilities and a health care facility for infected physicians and health care workers.
This thing is insane. But he (Obama) won't be stopped unless more people speak up. Contact your representatives, write letters to the editors of newspapers, talk to your friends.....
quote: Now, the attention is shifting to East Africa. Recent discoveries in Mozambique, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda have turned the focus on the region. Massive investments have followed the discoveries in the region too. ... Oil and Gas independent companies have spent US$200 million over the past 4 years acquiring assets in some of West Africa’s less explored countries, notably, The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Liberiail .
It is the same Modus Operandi, greed and blood running in the streets.
Glad its not on my conscience. One must be a classic sociopath to rise to the highest political power.
"President Barack Obama plans to dramatically boost the U.S. effort to mitigate the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, including greater involvement of the U.S. military, people familiar with the proposal said."
The article eventually goes on to say:
"Many public-health and infectious disease experts have called for a greater U.S. military role, which is highly valued in humanitarian crises for its ability to command and control large operations, as well as its logistics expertise."
We send the military to train forces how to fight in different places around the world but (and I'm not just talking about the Obama administration) that same US military can't train people in the CDC and NIH how to command and control large medical operations/humanitarian crises?
I realize, President Obama has no other choice, right now, than to use the military to run this type of operation but won't some President, any president, ever realize maybe, just maybe coordination and control crises skills can be taught to other federal government employees/non-appointed executives?
Kind of strange where we will use our military to fight an virus we can't see but will not use them to fight Terrorist state. I wonder if one of our soldiers catches Ebola will the VA be able to help
Thousands of Americans in Military and National Guard exposed to Ebola -- that's how it will take off in this country when they bring it back here as unknowingly infected.
If hospitals supposedly using the "right" protocol can't even prevent it properly, how are thousands of our soldiers not going to be exposed and some infected?
While it is true that a few years ago the National Guard recruiting campaign empathised their direct combat role for most of the last forty years their recruitment efforts seemed focused on missions like this public health effort. The big difference is in the deployment rather than building in a devastated community within driving distance.
The veterinary corps have had a public health mission since horses were replaced by trucks.
