If I was a soldier in the military right now I'd be pissed. I'd rather shoot a terrorist in the fricking eye than to play nurse in a craptastic continent like Africa.



Your standard 11 Bravo grunt will not be deployed to Africa. It will be the medical specialists who are sent there.

Still think only volunteers should go. Not folks who don't have a choice.

The bodies of eight people, including several health workers and three journalists, have been found in Guinea days after they were attacked while distributing information about Ebola in a village near the city of Nzerekore, according to Reuters.

"The eight bodies were found in the village latrine. Three of them had their throats slit," Damantang Camara, a spokesman for Guinea's government, told Reuters on Thursday.

The attack occurred on Tuesday when the residents began throwing rocks at the group. The health workers and officials had been sent to southeastern Guinea to educate people about preventing Ebola and to do disinfection work. A group of young people attacked them, according to the Associated Press.

Throughout this epidemic, public health officials have battled widespread fear and also doubts that the virus exists at all. The deadly attack illustrates the danger that those workers face as they try to spread information about the virus in an effort to control the widening outbreak.
