I heard in the news that my old carrier the GW left Yokosuka in a hurry today as well.

all American military personnel and their families from the areas of Japan threatened by radiation

Why wouldn't this be a no-brainer?

[prairiebreeze]

I hate that Obama’s war is distracting media attention away from Japan. Sure hope we can get aid into Japan, somehow.

[Noob1999]

So we’re pulling out??

Well, we sure are good friends of the Japanese when they need us.

There is so much cleanup, so many bodies to find, so many services to reconnect, so much devastation that it is incomprehensible!

I’m glad that I’m not in the service in Japan, but I’ll bet’cha that 99 percent of our troops there, are proud to help the Japanese people in their time of need.

Proud Americans - That’s what makes us great!

If they come back when the wind shifts, that will be one thing. If they leave for good, I’ll maintain it’s because the Muslim in Chief ordered them to leave the area.

Oh Futz...

Hasn't the media frenzy and the anti-nuke crowd already had their catastrophe and moved on to depleted uranium bullets that are going to kill hundreds of thousands in Libya for decades to come?

Seriously, at the minimal radiation levels as verified by Japanese media, every 'evacuation' will result in hundreds of times the exposure than staying on the ground from all the radiation exposure that comes from an overseas flight.

There is no reason to evacuate our personnel, and every reason to help the Japanese people, at least help them find the bodies of the thousands who have presumably lost their life.

[Flavius]

I thought radiation was good for us.

‘The winds threaten to dump as much radioactivity in the next 24 hours as in the preceding 10 days’

Not a threat according to ‘engineers’ etc on here...
