What's This? Kindness From Our Military?
Forgive the sarcasm, please, but with so many telling us that our military is nothing more than an agent of evil, I just had to link to this story.
That's an agent of evil if I ever heard of one, yeah, uh-huh.

The U.S. Army said goodbye to its last MASH on Thursday, handing over the green tents, emergency room and surgical tables to Pakistani doctors and nurses who had never seen the hit TV show that made the field hospital a household name in America.Let's see - we dispatch an entire Army field hospital in the wake of a earthquake to the other side of the world, and when we are done, we leave it for the natives to continue to use.
For the past four months, the 212th MASH ? or Mobile Army Surgical Hospital ? has been stationed in a mountain valley in northern Pakistan treating survivors of the Oct. 8 earthquake that killed more than 80,000 people.
That's an agent of evil if I ever heard of one, yeah, uh-huh.
