I don't really care for giving free shit to other nations and I doubt that the US military is the most efficient way to respond to earthquakes and other natural disasters.

National Guard = US military. Theyre who gets called. Theyve got resources and lots and lots of training. Do you have a better idea?

That is strange, because I do care about "giving free shit to other nations" when there has been a disaster.

You see, I do not give a rats arse if the people in need are a free democracy, a Communist Dictatorship, or an oppressive Theocracy. When I see a disaster, I only see people in immediate need. I do not see Americans, Hatians, Indians, Iranians, Chinese, or anything else. All I want to do is go in and help.

And yes, the best people to send in is the Military. They are trained, organized, and equipped to handle this type of event. Tell me, who else can pack up, fly to anywhere in the world, and bring everything they need from shelter and food to water purification and hospitals, fuel, communications, and highly trained personnel by the thousands that are experienced in working together?

Certainly not the Red Cross or UN.

Every member of the military has training that makes them unique as a disaster relief organization. And if anybody could name a better one, I would love to hear it.
