Long BUT Worth Reading........ Guest Column: No Relief in Sight for the Lincoln By Ed Stanton It has been three weeks since my ship, the USS Abraham Lincoln, arrived off the Sumatran coast to aid the hundreds of thousands of victims of the Dec. 26 tsunami that ravaged their coastline. I'd like to say that this has been a rewarding experience for us, but it has not: Instead, it has been a frustrating and needlessly dangerous exercise made even more difficult by the Indonesian government and a traveling circus of so-called aid workers who have invaded our spaces. Snip I was able to get about half way through reading this and had to stop. There are people that are of real help and there are those that are not. The UN and news crews are not there to help people. The UN people are there out of self importance and living off the backs of others. The news crews are there to record and broadcast the devastation as a way to make a living. Both groups should never have been allowed on military ship as their support base. The only time either group should be on board is in support of the ships mission not the other way around. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
