I am going to try hard and not Cr this. But I think it needs to be said.
Thailand is a key ally in SE Asia. Burma is tottering. I read the news today and I see all the other countries heading in with assistance. the US? nope.
Where the fuck are the FAST teams? Oh yeah, USAID. Why has Farifax, LA County or Miami not deployed their rescue teams? Has the WASP been sent in to conduct coordination?
We make fun of our country quite a bit. And rightfully so. When it comes to Humanitarian shit no one is better. We can drop in an ATC group anywhere and coordinate flights. Take over a port and get shit offloaded? Yep, we are damn good.
And silence.
In a previous time I would be heading to the area. Straight to the center? nope. That is where the experts need to be. We would be coordinating with all our allies, the USN, the USAF from a country near by.
This really makes me sad. All of my friends feel helpless we are not heading in.
Rant over. God protect those in the area. Except for the Burmese generals. Fuck those asian aggies.
