Re: 101st Airborne Won’t Get Full Protective Hazmat Suits for Ebola Mission in West A

That is rather far from being a good thing, isn't it? In fact, I would go as far as to say it is downright bad!
 
Re: 101st Airborne Won’t Get Full Protective Hazmat Suits for Ebola Mission in West A

The usual quality of leadership coning from the CIC.


Appears to me to be routine military ignorance. Institutional stupidity. The soldiers deserve better.
 
Re: 101st Airborne Won’t Get Full Protective Hazmat Suits for Ebola Mission in West A

So, who's idea was it really that we should send them in unprepared?

Who's the commander-in-chief?

Who signed the deployment order?

“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.


um is this that bad?

The CIC signed the orders that deployed this division to the hot zone, without the proper equipment.

The won't be in the front line, so they don't need the suits.

Since they will not be coming into contact with patients, or the general public, they don't need hazmat suits.

If they were wearing the suits all the time, they would get heat stroke

the disease is spread by close contact that they wont apparently have so why is this not proper?

They wouldn't be clad in in the suits around the clock.

They're not properly equipped to operate in a disease hot zone.

From the article:

“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.

Unless there was a Republican in the White House. Then, the president would be required to actually take responsibility for ordering troop deployments. Since Obama is a dud, he can't possibly be held responsibility for his decisiobs.
 
Re: 101st Airborne Won’t Get Full Protective Hazmat Suits for Ebola Mission in West A

in what way?

They don't have the proper training and equipment. They're receiving 4 hours of training and no PPE.

Retreating to the "If a Republican were in the White House..." argument every time your back is against the wall is just silly. Just admit you didn't read past the headline.

But, when you do it, it's ok. Right?

I read past the title. Tell us when generals started being the origin of deployment orders and not the CIC? Post a link, please.

I do that? When was this? Oh, who am I kidding, you don't have any examples of me doing that and we both know it.

Sure you don't...

[snort] Very funny.

I'll be over here totally not panicking over ebola. Have fun. Deuce does seem to have a point that this is exclusively about there being a Democrat in the White House.

Now, why are you ok with our troops being sent to the hot zone w/o the training and equipment required to keep them safe?
 
Re: 101st Airborne Won’t Get Full Protective Hazmat Suits for Ebola Mission in West A

The won't be in the front line, so they don't need the suits.

Yeah not like any people can come across them huh, Skipper?
 
Re: 101st Airborne Won’t Get Full Protective Hazmat Suits for Ebola Mission in West A

Sure you don't...

I don't, because I'm fully aware of how ridiculous and weak that tactic is. If I'm ever reduced to mind reading people's motives, I'll know I've lost badly.

Read your article (again). Read it infinity times until you get it.
