I was thinking that mobilizing the Marines, coordinating with our other forces ..the logistics may just take days...and then there is the complication of who do you deal with as a “govt”.
I wouldn’t want to drop Marines down into a situation where they don’t have control of the situation.
Having said all that..I just wonder how the inefficient and bungling beuarocracy of our govt is interfereing with this military and relief operation. My guess: a lot.
Trust me, Marines are always in control of the situation. They are the worlds best force for this sort of mission. No one does it better. One of the best kept secrets in US History is just how often, and how well, the Marines do these sorts of missions.
