Just a tad at odds with Obama’s quarantine policies.

Via Fox News:

The Joint Chiefs of Staff have recommended that all U.S. troops returning from West Africa undergo a mandatory 21-day quarantine, senior Defense officials told Fox News — even as the White House fights those very policies in New York and New Jersey.

The recommendation has fallen in the lap of Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel. He is deliberating, and no final decision has been made.

“Secretary Hagel has a big problem,” one senior U.S. official told Fox News.

If the Pentagon does decide on a 21-day quarantine for all returning personnel, it would represent a major shift in its Ebola response policy. And it presumably would put them at odds with the White House.

“The Obama administration is going to war with New York and New Jersey, but its own military is recommending the same thing,” a senior U.S. official told Fox News.

The current plan is only to quarantine those individuals who may come in contact with infected patients.
