Britain is currently leading the way (along with the USA) against the ebola outbreak committing hundreds - and eventually thousands - of troops. Our European "brethren" haven't stepped up to the plate at all. If this was ever to be seriously considered the first people who should be consulted is the military. This, like everything else to do with the military, cannot be worked out by civilians
At the risk of appearing as your personal ass-licker, I once again agree with you. I think there are too many insurmountable administrative obstacles for this idea to work.
