Certainly - ask the victims of the Tsunami or the earthquake in Haiti.

The US massive amounts of charity and aid around the world.

Just imagine the good that could be done if we decided to divert 75% of our military budget to a new kind of force which would be equipped and trained for disaster relief, charity, and village building around the world. Replace tanks with ditch witches and missile launch sites with schools and hospitals.

Cheaper, more effective for keeping peace, and much better long range successes.

But of course that is a wussie response. We need to be ready to bomb the snot out of people, by God!
