Send the National Guard to Fight - Stupid Government Ideas

Refining the level of incompetent miss-use of our military.
President Barack Obama issued an executive order on Thursday paving the way for the deployment of National Guard and Reserve forces to West Africa to help contain the Ebola outbreak there.
Under the mandate, the secretaries of defense and homeland security can order to active duty some members of the Selected Reserve and the Individual Ready Reserve mobilization.
To which, Americans are responding with:

‘OH HELL NO!’ OUTRAGE MEETS OBAMA PLAN TO SEND NATL. GUARD TO LIBERIA TO FIGHT EBOLA

This really does sound like something out of  SNL parody skit; send people trained and to protect their own communities to 'fight' a Level 4 Pathogen in Africa.

Having heard the theories that we are sending the military so that we can test the experimental vaccines (which I will set aside for now), it is hard to come up with a valid reason to send the National Guard half way around the world when the CDC can't stop the spread of Ebola IN THE US!

To add to the surreal Stupid Government Ideas (SGI), Team Obola has annointed a political hack and PR flak to run their Ebola response. Brilliant! Brilliant I say!

Baffle the masses with BS if you are incompetent to actually stop the outbreak.

What Does #EWorHW Mean?

It is a tag, short hand for we can do this   " THE EASY WAY or the  HARD WAY " Common phrase, you hear it often in the military.

More often the phrase is a bit more menacing, it means the subject is going to do it, the ONLY question is which way is it going to be done. Thus, when we talk about Making America Great Again (#MAGA), the Easy Way or Hard Way (#EWorHW).

Let the man speak for himself. A few of my personal favorites, which should inform our operations as well. Just your average, fun-loving Marine 2. “The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event. That said, there are some assholes in the world that just need to be shot.” 3. “I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I’ll kill you all.”

We are at WAR

It is simply acknowledging the existing"state of armed conflict between ... groups within a nation". We productives, veterans, traditionalists from all walks of life have been relentless attacked for years. Because it has been a low-intensity conflict, most of us were more occupied with just living our lives, and the various skirmishes we shrugged off because we had more important things for our time and attention. Man, I'm getting too old for this Sh!t At various point in the last two years, millions of us woke up, which our enemies will forever regret. Different triggers; hateful pejorative labels, flippant slanders, attempted shaming, all aimed at making us kneel, bow down to our enemies. For people who follow a God, or veterans who are trained to bear up under duress and refuse to be be broken, that was a tactical blunder of epic proportions. You pissed us off and got our attention.
