Isn't it grand what we are doing for Pakistan?

There is a fair bit of preening going on about what the USN-USMC team is doing to help the victims of the Pakistani flooding. That is nice and all - but before everyone gets so excited they flop on the floor and foam - I think we need to think clearly and openly about what is actually going on.

Perhaps we should also think about the opportunity cost. To see in detail what I think, head on over to USNIBlog and read my post there.
