So it is clear that the DoD has money to do it. It just takes lots of bureaucracy to get the money out.
It's super surprising to see, considering the reputation the US has built over the years + it's not like they have a lack of war experience.
Because the US moves civilians out of an active war zone?
So now donations are needed and US citizens still can't have daycare [0] and free health insurance because of a made-up war against a threat which does not exist.
That military base of the aggressors targeting civilians is being hit in return, and the sailors get to save their lives?
Yeah, such a tragedy that a military facilitiy is damaged in response to intentional killing of civilians.
Sorry but that's some....... surprising concern.
As soon as we stop treating these as bummers, there is literally nothing stopping a cycle of destruction. There may not be anyways, I don't know but giving up on empathy entirely seems even more dangerous than being bad at it.
You seem to be suggesting that not feeling sorry for the soldiers who got to evacuate without all their belongings somehow means I'm losing my humanity. That's a dangerous thing - lives of the innocent civilians who didn't chose to be bombed are more important. Aggressors could simply.... Leave and stop being in danger.
Similarly I have little pity for Russian soldiers losing lives in another illegal war of aggression, knowing how many war crimes they committed in their wake.
Better?
But no, they waited 1-2 months or something until the regime could reload and people had gotten tired and went home to grieve for their dead friends and family. Then they started yolo bombing. Again.
