There are over three million American citizens in Puerto Rico who will not have power for months.

Not including the air craft carrier in dry dock, we have two aircraft carriers in port on the east coast. I understand it takes some effort to get these ships fully manned and supplied, but the moment we knew Puerto Rico suffered a direct hit shouldn't someone in our government say "Maybe we should get one of these ships out to sea in the event we need them"?

The US Navy has two hospital ships, the Mercy and the Comfort; Why aren't these being deployed? Again, I understand such ships cannot just leave port but perhaps they should have started the process a week ago and perhaps they could just be arriving on station now.

Instead, our government has done.... pretty much nothing.

Then again, what did we expect from someone who's biggest claim to fame was firing Meatloaf on national TV.
