Hide in plain sight as the saying goes. The real purpose could not possibly have anything to do with true humanitarian reasons. This administration has been perfectly clear that they do not give a crap about humanity.
Great comment, Anonymous1's link also. Considering that the 3K troops are tasked with building Ebola treatment centers, and hospitals, they will come from the engineering part of the US military. And engineers, are not the medical corps. Engineers don't know a thing about communicable diseases. Now having said that, the US military was charged with the eradication of malaria in the Panama canal zone in the early 20th centry to facilitate the building of the Panama Canal -- malaria is, as Gerald has noted in another post, is not communicable.
Call me cynical but, Obama can and will make the case that both of the ultimate defeats in Afghanistan, and Iraq were Bush's fault. When and if Ebola makes it's way to the US, he will feel the need to deflect blame, and, as such, there won't be anyone else to blame -- it will have happened entirely on his watch. Therefore I ask myself rhetorically: "Is there any group in America that Obama detests more than the US military?" The answer is simply: Nope. Who better to blame, from his point of view, than the US military -- I can hear it now: "... they did it to us, they just weren't careful... you know, you just can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs."
Again, am I being cynical? Perhaps, but then again, how did Obama attempt to deflect the responsibility for Benghazi? By jailing a hapless film maker for months, and lying to the world before the entire UN; and by having various people carry forth the lie though every news avenue open to him. Cynical? Perhaps, but in so far as people are concerned past performance is future performance.
