Why doesn't the Pres. authorize the marines to use those big troop carrying hovercraft for evacauations? What are they ever used for anyway?

There aren't very many of them and I'll bet there in the middle east.
Use choppers, boats to get people to buses. Take them to the closest 36 large cities with shelters. Split them up into small groups.

I dont believe the hovercrafts are small enough to navigate city streets.
