A real-life horror story is playing out in Africa as Ebola spreads, and President Obama’s decision to send 3,000 troops to Liberia to combat the virus could very well put Americans at risk of contracting the deadly illness at home, some health experts say.

According to the World Health Organization, at least 4,985 people have contracted Ebola and at least 2,461 have died. Several doctors have fallen ill with Ebola, and two of them have died. New reports indicate a Doctors Without Borders staff member has contracted the virus in Liberia and will be evacuated to France for treatment.

“You can see that these doctors, who are highly trained people, got themselves infected,” said Dr. Lee Hieb, former president of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. “So sending troops into an area, if they’re dealing one-on-one with a patient, they’re not going to be able to protect themselves very well. It’s not easy to [prevent transmission], because you get tired and you get careless and you make some simple mistakes. All it takes is one virus particle.”

Dr. Hieb said quarantine measures should be taken to control the outbreak and prevent Ebola from coming to America.

“You don’t get Ebola from Europe,” she told WND. “You get Ebola from Africa. And it’s a really simple formula: Don’t let people fly to America if they’ve been to areas where there’s an outbreak. When there’s an outbreak, stop air [traffic] flow.”

In committing an estimated 3,000 U.S. forces to join INTERNATIONAL Ebola relief efforts in West Africa, President Obama seems to be fulfilling the plans of highly influential progressive groups who seek to transform the American military into more of a social-work organization.

In 2012, the major league of progressive groups with deep ties to the Obama administration got together to produce a comprehensive, 96-page report titled the “2012 Unified Security Budget.” It offered recommendations for reforming the U.S. military during Obama’s second term in OFFICE.

The progressive groups drew up extensive road maps recommending the use of the U.S. military to combat “global warming,” aid in disease PREVENTION in Africa, fight global poverty, remedy “injustice,” bolster the United Nations and increase “peacekeeping” forces worldwide.

Already during his first term, Obama utilized some of the specific recommendations of an earlier military budget paper produced by the same groups.

The 2012 Unified Budget report makes clear the stated objective of transforming the U.S. Armed Forces into an operation that emphasizes conflict resolution, INTERNATIONAL military cooperation via the U.N. and diplomacy.
