Marines are the hit men of the USA. Why are we turning them into a meals on wheels project ?

Because it shows we care enough to send the very best. Hard times calls for extreme measures, and I'm sure the Marines are needed as they are more capable than most even in unconventional missions.

Because, despite the negative connotation of what you said, the Marines are actually very, very good at such projects. Just look at what they did in Somalia before the UN stepped in and ruined everything.

America is always a giving nation, but if you want to think of the idiocy of the statements being made about us not reacting quickly enough....where were the Europeans offering aid when 4 hurricanes hit Florida this year. We take care of our own and half the world too. That idiot in Norway should go suck eggs.
