Amongst The First On The Scene.....

The US military is already providing assistance to Pakistan's needy after an earthquake devastated parts of the country. Of course, due to the US military involvement in Afghanistan, they were well placed with equipment and supplies to help. The US military was also amongst the first on the scene after last year's tsunami devastated coastal provinces of Indonesia.

There are already 20,000 dead in Pakistan and expectations are that there may eventually be upwards of 40,000. These are staggering numbers even when compared to the 220,000 dead from the December 26th tsunami, last year.
