"Suse, because war isn't a suicide mission, even really devastating conflicts such as the Russia-Germany war in the 1940's killed about 10% of the combatants, the mortality rate for ebola is over 50%."
That is not an accurate comparison.
To be accurate, one would have to deduce that 50% of those medical workers treating Ebola patients contract the disease.
It is notable that there is a high rate of patient to medical carer transference (especially in the African countries affected in the initial outbreak) - however it's nowhere near 50%.
