Fog of Ebola war: White House stance unclear as military leaders urge US troop quarantine

Quote
The White House would not say Monday whether President Obama thinks U.S. troops returning from the Ebola hot zone in West Africa should be quarantined, as the U.S. Army unilaterally imposed that policy on its own troops and the Joint Chiefs of Staff recommended the rest of the military follow suit.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel currently is considering the Joint Chiefs' recommendation to impose a mandatory 21-day quarantine for all returning troops. At Monday's daily briefing, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest acknowledged that Hagel might coordinate with the White House on that decision.

But when pressed by Fox News on what the president's position is, Earnest would not say.

Major contradiction. Why soldiers should be quarantined after they are in West Africa. How about any volunteers who went to West Africa too to show consistency?  :???: :bs:

How about any travelers coming from afflicted nations?  Better yet, just don't allow their asses to come to the US.

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
