LINKThe deadly Ebola virus has killed 14 people in western Uganda this month, Ugandan health officials said on Saturday, ending weeks of speculation about the cause of a strange disease that had many people fleeing their homes. The worst of the worst right there - that is one scary pathogen.

People fled their homes .... and went where? Wherever the next outbreak occurs.

Why Obama is sending troops to Africa – a closer look - Mon, Oct 31, 2011In the current US AFRICOM operation, 100 Special Operations troops will travel with Ugandan People’s Defense Force (UPDF) soldiers trailing LRA leader Joseph Kony. US to 'share lessons learned'
And the Russian Times reports:Thousands more US troops to be sent to Africa
June 13, 2012The Army Times confirms that the US military gave the go-ahead for the mass deployment last month and that roughly 3,000 soldiers will soon be sent overseas, with more troops expected to be dispatched during the duration of the program. Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg, head of US Army Africa, says the initiative is part of a “regionally aligned force concept” that will allow American troops to forge relationships across Africa, where the US has not concentrated its soldiers among civilians to the same degree as other continents. Thank goodness Russia has a free press or we would never have a clue what is going on in the good ol USA.

I dunno. Seems reckless doesn't it? I wouldn't want to go without full NBC gear! But like Stymie or REMFs give a rip. As usual the troops get screwed, and in this case screwed could mean dead. Totally unacceptable. This has disaster written all over it. I can see grieving family members suing for wrongful death. Obama & Co spent ZERO time thinking this over, all they saw were black people and political points. We have ZERO point being there. Let WHO handle it. |

Contagion is probably the most likely method if they wish to kill a lot of us, but Ebola might not be the right one. Typically you will see symptoms within 10 days - longest observed incubation was 21 days. Of course a genetic variant may have been developed that takes longer, giving it ample time to to spread before word gets out that there is an outbreak. Granted, you could get a 12 Monkeys scenario where someone deliberately contracts the disease and then takes a 10-21 day trip through as many airports and destinations as possible. Even so, you can only really spread it by direct contact. An airborne contagion will spread far more quickly. |
