The ship rumor mill is working overtime. The word under the ladderwells is that we're going to go to storm relief work in Burma, where apparently things are unpleasantly wet. I'm telling people that we're not going, because Burma's government hates America. Even in the unlikely event that they accept relief supplies from the USA, they'd never allow the military to deliver anything. The place is run by a paranoid military junta. So if we go in to deliver aid, we'd have to go in shooting.

Which, of course, we are well-equipped to do. Hmmm…

Don’t get me wrong, I'd love to go do some humanitarian work. The 31st MEU is all about pointless political BS "joint training" missions, which are a waste of time and tax dollars. If we got to go save some lives, that would be great.

But it's not going to happen.
