How much extra should our Servicemembers recieve for being put at risk in countries with Ebola outbreaks?

So apparently DoD has decided to be so generous by providing our troops with a whopping $400 extra per month for deploying to Africa to fight the spread of Ebola. Wow, really? A Soldier who goes to Korea, or any other unaccompanied tour, also gets the $250 in Family Separation Allowance. And many places, such as Korea, can qualify for up to $150 in Hardship Duty Pay. But there is no Imminent Danger Pay in Africa? Half the continent is at war and our troops are going in to combat (and potentially contract) and extremely deadly disease. Also, forget any kind of tax incentives, since they are not in a combat zone. A Soldier can go TDY to school and make more than these folks will make in such a dangerous place.

So, how much should they get? I would sure think more than a measly $400 extra would be in order. Anyone else think the same? Or should they just suck it up, follow orders, and be happy with the $400?
