Hagel OKs Quarantine for Troops Returning from West Africa

Move goes beyond civilian precautions

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Wednesday approved a recommendation by military leaders that all U.S. troops returning from Ebola response missions in West Africa be kept in supervised isolation for 21 days.

The move goes beyond precautions recommended by the Obama administration for civilians, although President Barack Obama has made clear he feels the military's situation is different from that of civilians, in part because troops are not in West Africa by choice.

Paging Tony!
Wanna tell Hagel about all those gov't medical 'authorities'?

Quarantine the troops who are only there to do construction but not the medical personnel who actually deal with the patients? Yeah, that sounds about like this administration - if it were in charge of screwing in light bulbs, we'd all still be sitting in the dark.
