Thank you for posting.
I think people forget so easily that not only what our military does is brave, but it is hard, backbreaking work.
God Bless Our Military!

Our military is the world's 911. Also, no good deed goes unpunished.

I'm amazed anything positive about the US (especially the military!?) is being reported by AFP (Agence France Presse). They're usually as bad as Reuters. Maybe this signals a bit of a thaw?

I am very proud and always amazed how the Marines can go and do just about anything anywhere. Let's always remember, though, that the Marines are trained to kill to protect Americans. Our Marines are not a rescue squad, nor a police operation. Each and every one is always in my thoughts and more importantly, my prayers.

This sort of job should be reserved for the Peace Corp and various charitable organizations.
The U.S. Marines have no business cleaning up the mess left by natural disasters. Their job is to kill people and break things. Time spent this way is time they cannot spend training. Lack of training will be responsible for some of their deaths when called upon to enter combat to defend the U.S.A. Who will take the blame for their lack of training?

"I almost cried," he says. "We're marines, we've been trained, but I never thought I'd be standing here, picking up the pieces of someone's whole life." The Marines are trained to kill people and break their stuff. This is not the proper role for a Marine. It is someone else's job. Now, if he was there to kill people and make all of that rubble, that would be a different thing entirely.
