101st Airborne Won’t Get Full Protective Hazmat Suits for Ebola Mission in West Africa
Nashville Public Radio
Troops from the 101st Airborne Division leading the military response to Ebola in West Africa will only need gloves and masks to protect themselves from the deadly virus, so said Gen. David Rodriguez at a Pentagon briefing Wednesday.

“They don’t need the whole suit – as such – because they’re not going to be in contact with any of the people,” the commander of U.S. troops in Africa said.

Soldiers from the 101st Airborne will primarily be building hospitals, ultimately leading what could be a contingent of 4,000 American service members. They’ll be housed either in tent cities at military airfields or in Liberian Ministry of Defense facilities, Rodriguez said.

Soldiers’ health will be monitored through surveys and taking their temperature on their way in and out of camps. If a service member does get sick, Rodriguez said they will be flown home immediately for treatment.

And this………….Health officials admitted this past week that the death rate in the Ebola epidemic has risen to 70 percent, up from 50 percent.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
Send the Commander in Chief first! Let Obama show us that it is perfectly safe. . This is unforgivable! Obama wants to kill off our troops.
