COMMENTARY: The US military actually helping someone rather than just shooting them? OMG! The frakking WORLD is coming to an end! We ALL know that the American military is just a bunch of mother-frakking, baby-raping killers! How could this POSSIBLY be true! :rolleyes:


Hospital Ship to Visit Tsunami Areas (http://www.military.com/NewsContent/0,13319,94698,00.html?ESRC=eb.nl)


Agence France-Presse | April 19, 2006
A U.S. Navy hospital ship will embark next week on a five-month cruise of the western Pacific and south Asia to visit communities struck by the tsunami more than a year ago, the U.S. military said Tuesday.

General Peter Pace, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the tour was "a direct result of lessons learned last year during the tsunami relief operations."

Navy medical teams, personnel from the U.S. Department of Health and non-governmental organizations, and volunteer doctors will team up for the mission, he said.

The first stop will be in the Philippines followed by other countries who have asked for assistance, he said.

A Navy spokesman said the teams will provide dental care, same-day surgery and inoculations in communities stricken by the tsunami which struck coastal areas around the Indian Ocean on December 26, 2004.

"Doctors and nurses really just want to find somebody who needs help, and help them. And I think you're going to see more of the same on this deployment," said Lieutenant Junior Grade Bashon Mann.

The Mercy was deployed to the area in the wake of the tsunami, arriving a month later and staying for five months to provide assistance in Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New Guinea.

Mann said about 1,000 medical and support personnel took part in the first tsunami tour.

Yeah but it is a year and a half late.
Also points to some quote from 'Nam about the Army's job being killing and nt helping people.

Next time, try actually ... you know, like READING the frakking article:

"The Mercy was deployed to the area in the wake of the tsunami, arriving a month later and staying for five months to provide assistance in Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New Guinea.

"Mann said about 1,000 medical and support personnel took part in the first tsunami tour."

:p

So is this article out of date or what?

Probably almost as many as the cuban doctors....how very generous.

So is this article out of date or what?
Points at date of the article: "April 19, 2006"

Probably almost as many as the cuban doctors....how very generous.

I'm sure people who would be dead or crippled otherwise are very happy. But perhaps we could have some sort of arbitage system going where the U.S. will pay Cuban doctors to work in disaster areas? And not just cuban doctors but the cheapest expetise available. This could get more bang for your disaster relief buck. On the other hand, the U.S. might want their crews to get experience that they wouldn't normally be able to aquire so that would have to be figured in too I guess.

Mmm... Do I meh at Forrest or do I find articles on Cuban people helping New Orleans which Forrest "forgot" to add here under the title "Communists helping? Nahh! Impossible!"?

Meh.

Meh.
:rolleyes:

American troops give are Brits equipment when the government has "trouble" with delivery that’s saying allot considering they themselves have trouble with supplies so yeah there good people and you’ know if I should happen to receive toilet roll every now and again it would be a real help

:rolleyes:

I bow to your superior arguments, Forrest.

:rolleyes:

And yes, I did that irony on purpose.

You all realize that this exact ship as well as a few smaller ones have been making regular trips.

Why don't you find something else to bitch about and leave our men and women in the army alone?

If you really feel this way and think this way about the Army then I really do feel sorry for you, and I hope you'll come to your damn senses.

The US Navy pwns all!

not really, but I'm thankful for what they are doing here. Good or them.

But it was the US that caused the tsunami in the first place!

:D

Okay, I'll bite...

In what manner is refusing to bootlick the Army "craziness"? Because you seem to have either neglected to read the thread or some delusional issues.

Wow. You're getting really good at burning strawmen. Perhaps someday soon you'll be ready for real debate.

I'll correct you, Cat-Tribe. He's burnt straw-men magnificently for quite a while, and he likely won't ever be ready for real debate...

Navy medical teams, personnel from the U.S. Department of Health and non-governmental organizations, and volunteer doctors will team up for the mission, he said.

Notice how the only military in there is the Navy medical teams and the ship provided. That's very typical of militaries, since their response time is usually quicker, they can help NGOs and others in providing assistance to disaster struck areas.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the people that actually do any shooting.

Wow. You're getting really good at burning strawmen. Perhaps someday soon you'll be ready for real debate.
Whatever. Perhaps that will make it less likely you'll become one of the vulture flock that jumps my case everytime I type something they choose to dislike. :p

Hello there, vulture! How's it feel to be one of the chosen few who have all the answers to all the ills of the world, but who can't figure out how to tie their own shoes? :D

So far as I can tell, you're the only one posting on this thread who has delusions.

You and Heikoku seem to have lots in common, mostly delusions. Perhaps you should join the flock of vultures.

Ignore them. They were abused children. :rolleyes:

Cute. Yet I was questioning what the other moron posted (neither he nor yourself actually defended his statements yet). I didn't make any statements besides that one, yet you claim I "am one of the chosen few who have all the answers to all the ills of the world, but who can't figure out how to tie their own shoes". Did I miss out on the part of the argument in which you went insane, Forrest?

Ignore them. They were abused children. :rolleyes:

How cute, conjectures about our respective pasts. If you want to go down that road, Eut, you won't be able to claim moral high ground when you assume you got offended about your age anymore...

I'm not against the army. They are America's greatest heroes. But I'm against the war.

so what do you think about the Navy, MArine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard?

You and Heikoku seem to have lots in common, mostly delusions. Perhaps you should join the flock of vultures.

Yo, moron, I was questioning what the other moron said. And only that. I also pointed out the fact that you said not a word of thanks to the Cuban doctors that also helped, which is known as hypocrisy. What gives? Where was I "delusional" as you claim, moron? Are you getting hallucinations caused by Agent Orange now?

So, do you deny that the experiments of the US military at the center of the Earth to develop a missile that would travel through the crust to attack Iran from below contributed directly to the tsunami? Ha! I'd like to see you prove that!

* feeds on carcass *

Yum! Three days old! Just how I like it.

You're either joking or strawmanning...

Excuse me for butting in, but your flaming/flamebaiting. You really need to calm your ass down before you get yourself into trouble.

And what was Eutrusca doing, calling me delusional and making "funny" remarks about us "being abused in our childhoods"? If he wants respect, he'd better show some. I won't take crap from him just because he is likely closer to death than I am.

it's par for the course with Eut. Was happenign with me on another thread as well. I have heard him ask the questio a couple times - "What ever happened to the courtesy I remember people showing each other back in the day?", as if he isn't the one that usually starts it all by constantly claiming that people who dont hold his point of view are detached from reality, while making no attempt to show how the other person is wrong and he is right.

I fell into the trap today as well, but the best course of action is to ignore those comments from him that dont contribute anythign to the discusion/debate.

No, no: I'll answer him. If it's mudslinging he wants, it's what he'll get. Regardless, I'll be back in two hours, as, unlike him, I have a life.

Then you are in danger of getting forum-banned just like Eut has several times

You're either joking or strawmanning...
I could be doing both... or not :eek:

Ignore them. They were abused children. :rolleyes:

Truly sad that you would think that an insult.

Bad enough that you've resorted to insults.

But using child abuse as a joke? That is low.
