Most soldiers do not prefer killing to disaster relief, even if that's what they are trained for. 2. Much of the military's efforts go towards logistics support; logistics are a critical part of fielding any military force. That skill (ordering, moving, distributing and accounting for supplies) is exactly what you need in a disaster like this one. The objective is just different - supplying food to victims instead of troops. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
