Every politician will say yes.
Every military man will say no.
We are fighting in two countries on the opposite side of the world. Yes Haiti is in our backyard, but our military is already having stretch marks.
You cant just send in some Marines, you have to factor in logistics. The Navy and Merchant Marine are already busting their ass supporting our troops (and many native troops) in Afghanistan and Iraq, a few would have to be rerouted to Haiti and would put a lot of pressure on an already strained logisitcs team.
Ordinarily I would say yes, but in our current situation I would say no.
