The US foreign policy has fully devolved into a "one size fits all" approach. Anywhere there is a problem - Send in the military!
Obama responds to a serious public health problem in west Africa by sending 3,000 army troops. Not the essential aid money that the UN and others have requested. Not more doctors. Not a fast tracked ZMAP vaccine.
Just troops. Troops who are primarily trained as killers.
He is very willing to commit another $10B a year to military action in Iraq but the $1B requested to fight Ebola? Not so much.
So what is going to happen when US troops contract Ebola? Well, bring them home for VA treatment of course. What could go wrong?
Take that you pesky virus!!
