Why not, Maggot?
To me, it's like deploying enlisted US troops to other countries to protect the citizens there from a human threat in their homeland.
Helping to minimize the threat of death to Liberians from Ebola is a similar mission, except there will be less chance of the US troops having to shoot and kill people to survive the mission.
I don't think we'd be sending troops there, however, if it weren't for the threat of Ebola killing more Americans in America. It's not a purely humanitarian mission.
