I think he was a Whig. Never trust a Whig. In Lincoln's time, Republicans were the liberal party, opposed to slavery. That made the South Democrats. The magnetic poles flipped between Roosevelt and Johnson, as the new CIA undercut domestic Communism by overthrowing the FBI's policy of institutional racism.
Combat or non combat either way these troops are targets to the barbarians in the middle east. My son joined the army in may. In february he is being deployed to kenya(yes obombas home country)to help train the kenyan troops to fight terrorists in somalia. Whats worse iraq or ebola africa?
Ebola's in the West. It's like being deployed to Miami if Ebola was centered in California, except no one really traveled across country because Who Goes to Kenya?! and there's a big-ass jungle in between. (See the "size of Africa" thread) Now, there are a bunch of soldiers being deployed to "Ebola Africa". But Kenya's not it. And Iraq would be worse.
Ebola was spread across seas to the US of A why wouldn't it be spread on the same continent to kenya?
because way more flights go to the USA, because way more infected people come to the US for their health care, because have you tried to get a flight from Monrovia to Nairobi? Kenya Airways suspended all their flights to West Africa. To a more specific point, there have been no cases confirmed in Kenya. They thought one guy might have been, but it turned out negative.
You might be convinced but I'm not. Besides didn't obomba say not long ago no more troops to iraq? Yes I know that doesn't mean shit coming from a politicians pie hole.
I'll put it this way...as someone who's been deployed to West Africa, Afghanistan, and read up on some of the "advisory" work going on in Iraq, if your son is being deployed to a "hazardous duty" area, Kenya's one of the best places to go right now. Tell him to use his time trying to learn something, and not just follow around soldiers-being-soldiers. A lot of opportunity, and a good first deployment. Good luck to him.
Spot on! Targets! Geez, without a known mission, without an objective, without knowing what victory is, and without the consent of the people. Then we have Ebola! Sending troop to fight Ebola is abuse of the military, in my opinion. Send the CDC, Send the Peace corp, Send the Progressives for Open Boarders, but damn! Sending the troops is abuse of them and abuse of the power of the Commander in Chief.
