Use military field hospitals for Ebola outbreak - Oz aid worker

Here's an idea. How about Australia uses it's military for a humanitarian effort, that may well become a threat to the very survival of humanity. How about sending a field hospital to Sierra Leone currently in the claws of the Ebola virus? Evidently it's right out of control over there and the medical world is ill equipped to handle such an outbreak.

Well an Australian aid worker Ali Readhead, just back from the coal face over there, is asking just that and has even started a petition to foreign minister Julie crazy eyes Bishop:

To: Minister of Foreign Affairs, Julie Bishop

I am calling on the Australian Government to deploy a military unit comprised of engineers, logisticians and medics to set up a field hospital in Sierra Leone to be run as an Ebola isolation unit.

Sincerely, [Your name] sign here

This from the ABC: 

While she welcomed the Australian Government's recent contribution of $1 million to the World Health Organisation's Ebola response, Ms Readhead said there simply were not anywhere near enough people on the ground. 

She has launched a petition calling on the Foreign Minister Julie Bishop to send in a military team to set up a field hospital in Sierra Leone. So far she has received more than 1,000 signatures. 

"Australia has trained biological hazard military units that could help contain this deadly virus - the same kinds of units the UK and US governments are sending in to help," she said. 

"I'm asking Julie Bishop and the Australian government to immediately send a military unit equipped with engineers, logisticians, and medics. 

"I think particularly at a time like this when the Australian Government is committing troops to Iraq this would be really positive thing for the Government to do to show that our military can also be used for humanitarian purposes in West Africa so that we can stand alongside governments there and support them." more
