An answer in response to America's supposed occupation of Haiti.

Typically when a foreign military occupies a country They deploy troops in areas where they can control communication, transportation, and supply. As we drive through the city we have noticed American troops on the ground in these areas. We met one US soldier that was guarding the gate to a hospital so that critically injurered Haitians can be medevac'd without delay. We met other US soldiers directing traffic so that people could move about freely, and yet another US soldier
, Sgt Rendy, who was helping to guard a hotel so that rescue/recovery operations could be conducted without hinderance from looters. Our troops were respectful and helpful. Sgt Rendy assisted us in speaking with a casualty assistance officer about the whereabouts of a missing American from GA. The US military was helping to recover 41 Americans who were buried in a hotel. They had organized a method for identifying the bodies and then notifying the families. Cordial and firm but completely professional. These guys represented our nation on foreign soil with humbled dignity. I'm proud of them and the Anerican response to this catastrophy. God Bless The USA!!
