Yet often, military humanitarian missions are in relief to atrocities caused by... other militaries.

Yet often, military humanitarian missions are in relief to atrocities caused by... other militaries.
- knowaveragejoe 11y agoSure. They're also the first to respond to natural disasters.
- dajohnson89 11y agoThat's more likely to be the National Guard or something like that. Which is military indeed, but not the same type of military that we're talking about here.
- knowaveragejoe 11y agoThe National Guard is as equipped to kill as any element of the regular military. NG units have served in combat roles in pick-a-conflict-in-recent-memory. That's just the US, of course. Pick a natural disaster anywhere in the world - the military(or militaries) of the region are the first to respond and form the basis of the relief efforts thereafter.
