A regiment of Marines with air support could accomplish wonders in this battle. For that matter, selected units of the 101st Airborne could, on 24-hours notice, completely change the course of the war against the caliphate. Whether that would be a good use of the troops can be debated, but if saving Kurds is an American goal, this would be a more appropriate use of troops than sending them into a plague zone. But a plague zone is where were sending them: Some 3,000 U.S. troops, having received all of four hours training on Ebola, will be sent to the hot spots of West Africa to support relief efforts. What they will do is not entirely clear, but it seems likely that some of them will wind up being infected, and America — which has only 19 beds nationwide for Ebola patients — will have to treat them somehow. usatoday/story/opinion/2014/10/20/ebola-klain-obama-administration-political-fixer-drunkards-fools-column/17551049/
