folks - now that we have all indulged in a political free- for-all, why don't we bring this back on track and focus on the mission at hand - which is the US military and the USG providing humanitarian assistance to Haiti in this time of disaster. This is a real world mission which has daily implications for many on this site. Pretty much all branches of the military are trying to get aid as fast as possible to the people of Haiti and the State Maritime Academies are now affected- Mass Maritime's Sea Term has been cancelled, 3/C & 4/C cadets disembarked and the training ship - with 1/C cadets aboard has been diverted to Haiti. This is a truly joint- real world, as it's happening, mission and rehashing political slogans from the Red and Blue sides of the beltway seems to be misplaced. So focus on the mission here folks which is simple- help the millions who have been hurt, killed or are suffering from this natural disaster and who live on our southern doorstep.
