You would call the mission military, would you? I would call it humanitarian relief. Remember the Berlin Air Lift (Operation "Vittles") in 1948? The majority of those aircraft (and crews) were military. Systemic mistakes that could have been avoided and we could have had a much better outcome than what we have now. Sure they could have!! I've NEVER argued otherwise, and I worked with some of the people who were actually there when certain US administrators made the decisions that they did. We're Americans.. We eventually do the right thing after we've tried everything else.. ;0) Hawk
