Small war****ps so quickly and conveniently offshore ready to help?
What can they do?  The coast ****t facilities are wreaked.  What
equipment or supplies can they bring ashore to bear using their
lifeboats? The crew size of their ****p is around 150 or less, most of
whom will be needed to man the ****p.  What can a dozen or two sailors
do except get in the way?   I haven't come across any mainstream
re****t making a case for them to be allowed to do rescue work.  But I
do see a lot of nonsense about the West having the moral right to
invade, overthrow the government and to force their "aid" onto
Myanmar.
