Boykin: Sending military to fight Ebola ‘misuse’ of soldiers

“Sending the U.S. military to combat Ebola in Liberia is an absolute misuse of the U.S. military,” Gen. William G. Boykin explained to WND in an exclusive telephone interview.

“The health mission in Liberia would be better accomplished by private sector NGOs [Non-Governmental Units], including the French organization Médecins San Frontières (MSF), Doctors without Borders, among others, or by some other U.S. government agency such as the Department of Health and Human Services,” he stressed.

“I believe it is a total misuse of the U.S. military’s capabilities at a time when the U.S. military is taking drastic budget cuts, it is being extraordinarily thin, and it is being recommitted to conflict in Iraq. I object to this quite strongly.”

Under progressive reign, the military’s role is no longer to kill people and to break their s@#t

It’s to “nation build” and “create harmony” and “equality”.. and fight disease in third world countries that have no infrastructure for sanitation or acute medical care.

It’s not like there are any organizations that are supposed to be committed to world health, like .. say… the World Health Organization..Doctors Without Borders… the CDC.. that could do the job.

When you answer to nobody, you can do as you please. To Hell With The Law. If it was not for President Bush, he would not have to keep breaking the law.
