Opinion: Stop the Ebola calm-mongering

The following is an op-ed written by Gen. Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Hello, all service members everywhere! I am writing to you today not just for myself but also on behalf of the President, the Secretary of Defense, and all of the United States Government. I have one simple message for you. Bottom line up front: Stop the incessant calm mongering about the impending Ebola apocalypse.

It’s time to get good and fucking insanely terrified.

Now, I know you may be skeptical. After all, I’m the guy who, just last month, was saying that ISIL was the biggest threat ever faced by mankind, to include comets and the Sun exploding.
