Hey Dayuhan,
Ill have to look for the figures in some very old files, but I can give you an idea as to just what the USG did with not only humanitarian support, but also simultaneously providing deployed troops.
We flew fire trucks (to pump and purify water from a dead lake) from California on C5s, deployed and housed troops from Italy, and flew in aid on C130s all in less than two weeks. I rented several acres of land (coupla million) and had to bulldoze the bodies and other undesirable things off it first. I'd have to say in the course of that week alone I blew 50 million using my telephone
I couldn't agree with you more (then and now). It's not at all PC, but it is reality.
Regards, Stan
