Typhoon Haiyan kills 10,000 in Philippines
I still don't get why the US Navy hasn't put an LHD or equivalent amphibious group into the relief effort -- it would be a great humanitarian thing, plus a show of strength for one of our key Pacific allies after the "pivot to Asia" -- a pretty clear implication that if we can put a battalion ashore to help hours after a hurricane, we can do similar things during a conflict.  Extra points due to the huge number of USN sailors who come from the Philippines.  It would be a super-cheap way to build US credibility in the region, help people, and deter future conflict.
