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

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

And in the end I would ask the same question. What vital national interest did The One send American troops to Ebola country to protect?

We have to protect the cointry grom the spread of the virus. To do that, we have to attack it where it originated, just kike any other enemy. Only the military has the resources to do that; an NGO can't handle this one.

This is one of the few good decisions that The One has made. It's too bad his execution is so piss poor.
 
Re: 101st Airborne Won’t Get Full Protective Hazmat Suits for Ebola Mission in West A

How many times are you going to lie? Or, rather, how many ways are you going lie? No where does anything you posted prove that the 101st soldiers have PPE at the individual, crew, or unit level. You claimed that one-oh-one personel have PPE available at the unit level; you failed to support that, much less prove it...that means you lied.

The 35th CST isn't the 101st Airborne...another lie. In case you didn't notice, the the thread topic is about the 101st Airborne. Those are two different units. Do you understand the difference?

You did an awesome job at lieing!

So you will not admit to the lies you spread. How surprising...
 
Re: 101st Airborne Won’t Get Full Protective Hazmat Suits for Ebola Mission in West A

the disease is spread by close contact that they wont apparently have so why is this not proper?
Meh, a few of them might get their freak on with the locals.

If you decide to sleep around with the natives of a country riddled by both AIDS and an Ebola pandemic, you deserve to die in a puddle of your own bloody vomit and diarrhea, so that you don't have a chance to pass on your obviously defective genes.

I'm not the one soreadibg lies, you are.

See? I can do that too.

The difference is I am right. General Rodriguez never said what is claimed, the quote was taken way out of context.
 
Re: 101st Airborne Won’t Get Full Protective Hazmat Suits for Ebola Mission in West A

Im sorry but HQ isnt a combat unit and certainly not an elite one at that.

I'm sorry as a member of the Ranger Family.....I would know, and yes Spec Ops are apart of the 101st. Oh and anytime the 101st is around. Its an Elite Unit. But thanks for trying to give it that good old college try.

We can protect the country from the spread of Ebola by denying visas from people who have recently been to ebola country. We can continue screening at the airports. Nothing so far indicates a vital national interest. But I do sense a desire to waste the time and lives of our small military force by compelling them to hold hands, sing folk songs and change diapers.

Why are you assuming they are deploying the 101st Special Troops Battalion? And when we are talking about the HQ part of the 101st (not the Special Troops Battalion) they are not an elite combat unit.

The 101st Airborne is one of two airborne divisions (helicopters [101st] and planes [82nd]) and is thereby elite.

As I am not a member of the "Obama is purging the military like Stalin" crowd, I've no problem with this mission; nonetheless, the 101st is elite.

Its the Whole Brigade.....and yes they are an elite unit. You have no clue as to what you are talking about.

101st Sustainment Brigade Units:

2nd Battalion, 44th Air Defense Artillery Regiment

101st Special Troops Battalion

129th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion

716th Military Police Battalion.....snip~

Im talking about one specific part of the 101st since they are the ones who are getting deployed. To call any HQ an elite combat unit just doesnt make sense.

I believe the proper term is 'elite infantry unit' and yes that includes the HQ, which are generally only looked down upon by their own line dogs.

Why are you assuming its the whole brigade being deployed? Lets go back to the link.

Soldiers from the 101st Sustainment Brigade are part of the deploying number,

Notice the wording? It doesnt say the entire brigade is being deployed.

I say elite combat unit because thats the wording he used.

Now what if I went around repeating things MMC said with the excuse 'MMC said it'. Would you take me seriously?


No offense, MMC, just makin' a point.

Not getting into this.

Yes....lets go back to your link.


Soldiers from the 101st Sustainment Brigade are part of the deploying number, according to a division spokesman. In addition, he said elements of the 86th Combat Support Hospital are also preparing to deploy from Fort Campbell.

The 101st Soldiers will be there for at least six months, Kirby said, but they could stay longer based on the needs of the mission.....snip~


Who did Kirby say specifically? Can you repeat that.....Louder!

Sure. One and two make sense. Sending precious American troops does not.

Answer me this: could we protect the nation if we only controlled the spread of facism, in the country?

Rephrase. This made no sense.

Fascism is already here. Just look at all of the authoritarian statists who post here.
