Catastrophic Disasters: Article Analysis
I agree with you DaVonte’ in regards to utilizing the military for some of the catastrophic disasters that our nation has faced. We need to remember that our first responders are there to assist initially and if matters have escalated out of control then the military should step up to the plate. I believe that we have other resources that we should reach out to first and if other help is needed the state and federal government will assist when needed.

The military is in place to protect and serve the citizens of this nation and to help our allies in need. Our military should not be responsible for assisting other countries that threaten the livelihood and safety our nation. I agree with you wholeheartedly that our military should not risk

The world around us is always changing and other countries aren't going to wait up for us just because we are in a "budget crisis."

    And if another country is in a war of which no side poses a threat to us, the U.S. should just leave the fighting to the people that want to fight.
