Hagel orders quarantine for service members returning from West Africa. What are your thoughts?

Here is the last part of the article. I found the wording very interesting.

Obama on Tuesday said it was “critical” that the Ebola epidemic be stopped at its source and noted that CDC guidelines recommending active monitoring — but not isolation — of returning health care workers is part of an effort to encourage them to continue volunteering for the dangerous job of treating patients in West Africa.

But he also said the rules don’t apply to military service members, who are conducting a different mission.

“They are ... not treating patients. They are not there voluntarily, it’s part of their mission that’s been assigned to them by their commanders and ultimately by me,” Obama said. “When we have volunteers who are taking time out from their families, from their loved ones and so forth, to go over there because they have a very particular expertise to tackle a very difficult job, we want to make sure that when they come back that we are prudent, that we are making sure that they are not at risk themselves or at risk of spreading the disease, but we don’t want to do things that aren’t based on science and best practices.”
