> If they get evacuated from a disaster zone they get charged for the costs. And as everything the US Gov does is horrendously price inflated, there are cases of people getting "rescued" and then wishing they'd been left behind after being served with massive bills. Citation please? The only thing I've ever heard of even remotely close to this ate the occasional local search and rescue operations that are caused by poor judgement. That has nothing at all to do with the U.S. government. The next time there's a disaster in almost any country - look around. That's a U.S. Navy carrier providing electricity for emergency relief. Those are U.S. Marines distributing rice, ponchos, and water. Those are U.S. Navy Corpsmen delivering first aid to the wounded. As bad as people like to make this country out to be, we are the first ones there with the biggest shovel any time another country needs to be dug out. |

It's not so. Go look at Yemen. The Chinese, Indians and Pakistanis evac'd their citizens when the war started. The USA left theirs to rot.
