Mr. President,
Our Marines recently concluded this humanitarian exercise in the Philippines using amphibious landing craft. We now face a humanitarian crisis in Florida as a result of Hurricane Michael. It is time to put this exercise into action for our own citizens.
Roads are gone.
Utilities are down.
Medical facilities are inoperable.
Nations across the world have benefitted from the speedy humanitarian responses of our military in the aftermath of disasters. Now, the people who paid the taxes that made those exercises possible are in need themselves. Activating the national guard is a start, but as the saying goes, charity begins at home. If we can afford to use our military to address disasters abroad, then we owe a similar speedy response to our own people.
