Comment on USS REAGAN
It is sad to think that this person who wrote this article, MIRIAM CORONEL FERRER would be such a fool to call sending an entire Battle Group to aid te Philippines a "Token Gesture."
Seems to me that these ships were with in 24 to 30 hours away from the Philippines when they were ordered to the Sulu Sea.
Now what if the Ronal Reagan was not in the area with its Helo's and C2 cargo planes? Who else was close enough to respond? Tell me Miriam. Who else????
Who in Asia could have had a sea going airport in the Sulu Sea in 30 hours? Tell me???
Seems that maybe, just maybe this was the best available ships in the area. Seems to me that if there were any OTHER ships in the area from ANY country that could provide a floating airport in the Sulu Sea, WHERE WERE THEY???
There is one thing that still stands out today in the Philippines and that is this. There are those that are NEVER, repeat NEVER thankful for assistence/aid, etc that is provided by the US.
The next Typhoon that hits the Philippines, lets see who comes and helps you with a floating airport in the areas that are hardest hit. Maybe another Asian country could help? Don't think so as those that MIGHT have aircraft carriers are inport and don't go to sea that often.
So the bottom line is this Miriam, the next "tragedy" that hits the Philippines, it might be wise to maybe ask the PEOPLE of the Philippines if they care about the constitution when it comes to assistance and aid from the US.
