We get the same requests to haul ass and trash, be it at home-station, in Iraq or Afghanistan. We've done the odd Emergency Aerial Movement Request (EAMR) to deliver food/water/ammo and we've also be asked to do CCA; but the reality is that it's not our mission, plain and simple. Unfortunately, the buck has to stop somewhere and, for the Pedros, it's the CFACC. If the CFACC directs that the Pedros will haul, then the Pedros will haul but the CFACC has to weigh the risks and rewards. 99.69% of the time, the alert takes priority and the answer for those requests is an emphatic "no." If Dustoff loses the Red Cross and rolls more like the Pedros, then their leadership (be it the Bde Cdr or the Med Geeks) need to also be willing to make those decisions. Right now, the only thing the red crosses are doing is limiting their flexibility in a war where the enemy couldn't care less about the Geneva Conventions.

If the crew's immediate supervision (AC, MC, etc) isn't working to push award packages through for their enlisted crew, they're doing it wrong. At least until their guys all have 25 points.

Dear Israel, Arab League, et al - We are broke. Please take care of this yourself. Sincerely, The United States of America PS: Oil below $50/barrel would be nice.
