Yah, I guess that's how things work today. Silence dissent, and tell people that even though they're potentially at risk, they're too dumb or ill-informed to even talk about it. Let your betters handle this!

Name the outbreaks. Remember, we are talking about humans, not the Reston incident. There aren't any in the US, until we brought one here. And the "fellow citizens" could have received the same level of care someplace that didn't expose the average American to any risk at all. Just sayin'...

Yep. Anyone who isn't an MD can't have a valid opinion on this. I guess if you've never served in the armed forces, you can't talk about war, either.

Yah, pretty selfish and heartless to not want to put literally an entire continent at risk without even asking anyone living there if it was OK.

Are you referring to the laboratory samples we have? Or perhaps Ebola Reston, which isn't transmittable to humans?

Yah, I know they're Americans. And we imported the Ebola virus. So let's just keep down the name calling, shall we?

Yes, because they are ALREADY HERE. Not like Ebola, which was confined to Africa, at least until we decide to give it a ride to this hemisphere...

Or, we could have decided NOT import two big leaky bags full of a super-deadly pathogen and have one less problem to begin with. Just sayin'...

Pink Floyd??? Why?

I have a Syclone I am currently turning into somebody else's barn find :/

This article is riddled with qualifiers:

Why the hell are we importing two big, leaky bags of the Ebola virus to the continental US? To paraphrase Mallory Archer;

How about an outboard boat motor based on the supercharged LSA out of the ZL1 Camaro and CTS-V?

True enough. But keep in mind that there's plenty of other antitank threats to contend with in a beach assault, and once again, the hovercraft aren't even going to be able to live long enough to disembark their troops and armor unless the PRC forces already have control of the air. And if they do, then how the ground

It won't be modern MBT's versus Korean war era tanks. It will be a pretty even match, technologically. Sure, current armor can command a larger span of beach per unit, but it's not an order of magnitude more.

Well, here's where I got it from:

Except that they have two right now. And even with ten, that's still 30 tanks per four hour round trip. That's basically two companies, not even half a battalion. Take a look at the Incheon landing during the Korean war to get an idea of how minor that amount of armor is in the big picture of even a relatively modest
