Soldiers, Is That Our Answer to Everything?

Obama is sending 3000 soldiers to Africa to deal with the Ebola outbreak in Africa.

Am I the only one who thinks that it might be a better idea to send doctors, nurses, lab technicians, and construction workers?

The Obama administration is ramping up its response to west Africa’s Ebola crisis, preparing to assign 3,000 US military personnel to the afflicted region to supply medical and logistical support to overwhelmed local healthcare systems and to boost the number of beds needed to isolate and treat victims of the epidemic.

Seriously? We need to send in the military to deal with an epidemic?

I am coming to believe that no one in Washington believes that any agency but the Pentagon can do anything, ever!
