3000 Troops To Be Deployed For Ebola Crisis.

I believe our military and national guard are there to build field hospitals.. But who knows what else they will be called on to to. I am afraid for them. However, SOMEONE has to get this under control... and of course it's going to be the USA..... because that's what we do.. Then of course the other nations will sit back and criticize what we do... but so what else is new?

AGAIN,where are all the other nation offers to help us in Africa,if their country get a massive dose of ebola who do you think they call for help?

Luke 12:48 "...From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked....."

and as SeaBreeze mentioned, there are other countries involved too.

JOHN 8:7 Let those without sin cast the first stone.

Anyone can pull a Bible verse out of their hind end...
 

Then all of those troops will have to go into isolation before they can regain their various countries...From all the countries...might be how Ebola comes to a place near you...soon!

So are you saying that troops shouldn't be sent? Should we just let Ebola go uncontrolled? Do you not think that it will come to a place near you anyway? Or are you saying that just the US should sent it's troops so only the US will be affected if they contract ebola and the other countries can be safe? You know... contain it to West Africa and the USA..

I'm not saying that at all..I'm saying that the US, UK, and probably most of Europe will be sending troops..that is a lot of people to monitor...

And it may be just one of the troops that infect their particular country!

We want to segregate anyone who has been in contact with Ebola..and now we are sending thousands of people into the infected areas...

I do hope they have the correct equipment and are very, very careful!

Good point, but I think they will be extremely careful if they know their own lives are on the line.
 
interesting. If you look closely, you will see there are no direct flights from the affected countries to the US. It's hard to see but there appear to be only 3 direct flights to Europe. A travel ban may just be futiile.

That's not what she said at all QS.

You need to go for a walk, get some fresh air and unwind. You're entirely too tense.
 
I am in favor of a travel ban.... I have called the White House message center, Both my Senators and my Representative in the House.. What I am saying is... look at the flights.. How do you stop people from flying to Either Europe or the US is there are no direct flights?

You stop them from their point of departure..you don't let them go anywhere!

Hmmm, I seem to remember a rather strident remark about pulling Bible verses from 'where'? Very nice.

Besides, I wasn't being patronizing but just making an observation that you do seem awfully tense. I used to fly off the handle in the early days of my online life but I found that it made me feel lousy physically because I'd get so worked up. So in the many intervening years I've learned not to and in the process I think I've learned to be respectful of the differing opinions of others. Doesn't mean I agree with them, but I try to give them as much respect and civility as I'd like to get for my opinions. The Golden Rule you know.

But if you want to see that as patronizing then that's the baggage that you've chosen to pick up and drag around. Your choice (and I'll respect that).

Who? Which country is going to hold millions of people hostage in their countries? Would you want another country coming to England and telling you that you cannot travel anywhere? How would this be accomplished? Obviously they are taking other modes of transportation to get to airports outside of the three affected countries. Do we set up baracades around the entire area?
 
Well..tough titty for them...what do you want to do?..let them travel worldwide and start a global pandemic?

It seems a sensible solution..help is arriving...scientists are working on a cure..There are doctors..health care workers all winging their way over there..

It's not as if we are abandoning them!

Do you want planefulls of West Africans from infected areas arriving at your local airport?
 
I'm not saying I want planefuls here.... Again... I have made FOUR phone calls to Washington.. Have you called anyone? What I am saying is HOW.... HOW are you going to wall in millions of people in three countries? Shoot them at the borders? Build walls? Seriously... you cannot keep them in unless by force. People are going to travel... expecially to escape this... which is what they are doing, despite what I want or what YOU want. I am a practical person... I don't see how it can be done.
 
Well they may escape into a neighboring country..But their passports will give them away..And I don't think the neighboring countries will let them in..Especially if they are Ebola free..

But quite frankly..having seen the infected areas on TV..the people look too poor to be able to afford to go anywhere...

The only people who can escape will be the rich people..whom I suspect live nowhere near the infected areas..

And actually I have tweeted David Cameron..No reply as yet and I am not holding my breath..

I would think you don't wall them in - you wall them out. You refuse entry to the U.S., not refuse leaving their country.

If Mexico can do it so can we.
 
All UK troops and NHS workers who are already there; over 1000 so far, as far as I can tell; are volunteers.
