Pentagon Builds Units To Transport Ebola Patients

First time accepted submitter halfquibble52 writes As more U.S. troops head to West Africa, the Pentagon is developing portable isolation units that can carry up to 12 Ebola patients for transport on military planes. The Pentagon says it does not expect it will need the units for 3,000 U.S. troops heading to the region to combat the virus because military personnel will not be treating Ebola patients directly. Instead, the troops are focusing on building clinics, training personnel and testing patient blood samples for Ebola.

    That mandatory quarantine and travel bans are a good idea yet? Sometimes I wonder if these guys are taking the game pandemic as a manual, and are just willing to wait until "things get really bad." At least Madagascar will be safe.

    well just like most drug crimes, single motherhood, and gang violence this is a nigger problem. africa is one of the richest lands in the earth far as natural resources goes. those jigs still cant do better for themselves? oh right, they are still primitive and tribal, nothing but warlords attacking each other and starving their people of food and wealth. large scale organization and cooperation is far beyond their nigger capabilities except for when some thug-life wannabe like Treyvon Martin threatens the wrong person and gets himself shot, then the tribalism reduces to basic moronic "us against them" where "them" is "anybody lighter skinned". except for that, no unity and no cooperation just tribal squabbling among niggers. no progress no nothing. just poverty and 3rd world countries. look at the history of Haiti sometime if you care about FACTS and doubt this - the Frenchies handed those darkies an established, ready made, prosperous nation, just handed it to them and said "All yours now!" No racism - it was all black run. How'd that turn out? Want to move there? THat would prove how not-racist and politically correct you are, you know. Haiti or Harlem. GO live in one of those. Tell me how much they welcome your progressive political correctness. Yeah. Gotta love armchair libtards. They pontificate but they would never actually practice what they preach. THey'd never live in a ghetto or anyplace near it, but they welcome the blacks with open arms at the voting booths and in every other empty meaningless way that means they never put their own asses on the line. Just like Al Gore cries about carbon but his own carbon footprint is many times that of you or me, but somehow that's different, he's special in some way, yeah sure. Libtards. It's all about looking good by saying the politically correct things you're expected to say, never about making any sense or practicing what you preach. Libtards.
