My mom served in the first gulf war in a MASH unit for the 82nd airborne. This seems like a ridiculous thing to get rid of.

What're they going to do when out in the middle of a remote area, always expect a hospital to be nearby? The world changes quickly and we may not always have a friendly neighboring country with a quality hospital to send wounded soldiers to.

Can we send them Alan Alda and that other mad Jackass from the last mash shows too? Please?

The 84-bed facility treated over 20,000 survivors of the disaster, which killed more than 73,000 people.

The largest ever U.S. military relief mission is due to wind up by March 31, but helicopters needed to supply isolated villages in the mountains will keep flying.

The facility, worth $4.6 million, has now become a valuable addition to the Pakistani military's medical corps.

The United States has pledged $510 million for humanitarian and reconstruction assistance since the earthquake in Pakistan

Meanwhile rioters burn KFC, Pizza Hut, and McDonalds, American flags, etc. because of 'offensive' cartoons that we did not publish.

Surreal.
