I read on the front page of Breitbart.com these two seperate stories.
1- http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2014/10/17/General-U-S-Troops-That-Contract-Ebola-Will-Be-Quarantine-in-Liberia (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2014/10/17/General-U-S-Troops-That-Contract-Ebola-Will-Be-Quarantine-in-Liberia) (U.S. Troops that get Ebola will be treated overseas)
2- http://www.breitbart.com/InstaBlog/2014/10/17/Judicial-Watch-Obama-Plans-to-Transfer-Ebola-infected-Foreigners-Into-U-S-for-Treatment (http://www.breitbart.com/InstaBlog/2014/10/17/Judicial-Watch-Obama-Plans-to-Transfer-Ebola-infected-Foreigners-Into-U-S-for-Treatment) (Obama will bring foreigners who contact Ebola to the United States)
So Obama just gave the biggest middle finger to the United States Military ever. Foreigners with Ebola will be brought to the USA for treatment but our own military personnel who are over seas to fight this thing who contact Ebola will not be brought back home. WTF?!?!?!?!?
it would not surprise me if the Military just erupts with public outcries about how bad Obama is. (I am a former Military NCO, I understand the protocols too)

I find it nearly impossible to believe that Obama is doing these things out of incompetence, so that leaves me to think he is doing this intentionally to bring down our country
-
Your absolutely right Dan! I really wish our military would just revolt and force change.

That is the last thing I want to see, as much as I hate Obama.

why? The oath the Military takes is to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America first and obey the POTUS second. Nothing is more important than the first.

Because when the military starts deciding who should be in power then we'll be nothing but a third world dictatorship. It's one thing to refuse an unlawful order. Staging a coup d'etat is another.

I understand what your saying and I agree with that but it wouldnt be putting in a republican or a military general but the VP. (not that that is much better but) He just cant be allowed to do this!

Doesn't make a difference. Freedom is gone once the military decides who rules. Like it or not, Obama is a democratically elected leader. If he needs to be removed (and I think he does) it needs to be done via the rule of law, not through force.

I do not like this man,
that's all im allowed to say

As liberals and progressives are quick to quote, adherence to the U.S. constitution should not be a suicide pact. Fair enough... then adhering to the unjust orders of any elected official should also be a debatable issue. That does not automatically mean the military should decide who is in charge but it should mean that they should not be compelled to give up rights which are being freely handed out to foreigners.
I would gladly offer sanctuary to any member to the armed forces who chose to ignore such an unjust order as this and pray that someone higher up in their chain of command will have the courage to publicly defy it. These are not Vortigern's house troops or mercenaries to be used up, they are our sons and daughters and deserve better consideration than they are receiving. Enough already.

Breitbart story headers often are written for shock value and do not tell the whole story. Did you read the article?
From the very first paragraph:
If any American soldiers in Liberia contract the deadly Ebola virus, they will be quarantined, stabilized, and evacuated to a medical facility for treatment, said the Ebola mission commander, adding that the U.S. military hospitals that will admit potentially infected troops have not yet been identified.
While I think Obama's sending of troops to the "Ebola Zone" was utterly stupid, the article doesn't say anything about NOT bringing any servicemember home that would be unfortunate enough to contract Ebola there. They just haven't identified which hospital they would be taken to, as of yet.

And part of the oath that is said during enlistment and re-enlistment states ....... to defend the constitution from enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. And that oath continues after you separate from service, at least in my mind it does.

The fact that Obama has been instrumental in 7 major scandals surrounding the "most transparent administration in history", including illegal wire tapping and violations of the 4th amendment, ignoring some laws and enforcing only parts of others, and creating "laws" with his pen and Executive Orders, yet Congress does nothing to bring impeachment proceedings or to re-establish their Congressional responsibilities. Probably for fear of being labeled racists by the Left, a label which the Left uses to halt debate with anyone who disagrees with Obama's policies, actions or attitude. In my view, the Left's willingness to play the race card, and the general public's willingness to ignore the obvious, makes Obama the first Affirmative Action president, and most politically correct people continue to keep their head in the sand. After the SHTF you won't find anyone who will admit to having voted for him even once, much less twice.
Obama is not stupid. He has an agenda and that "middle finger" to the troops is just indicative of what he feels about America in general. Remember the video of his wife and him talking about the flag raising at the Word Trade Center:
http://youtu.be/OJgWMI0hch8 (http://youtu.be/OJgWMI0hch8)
Some have posted a video which claims she said "How pretty they fold that flag", but when you see the smirk and frown on her face you can easily tell that she wasn't happy. One would say "how pretty they fold that flag" with a smile, even as awkward as that sentence is.
