- Pentagon love to interfere the other countrys' affair by sending the troops, but it's chickend out when it knows there's something the troops can defeat.

- First of all I am extremely sorry for what the Japanese people are currently enduring. That said, I see no reason for such large deployments of troops in many foreign countries such as Japan, Germany, England etc that are not in harms way and have defense forces of their own. Especially in a time where we find ourselves borrowing from the chinese to buy toilet paper I find it highly inappropiate we prop up foreign economies with our tax dollars, and the money spent in those economies by troops stationed there. This is not a call for isolationism, its a call for sanity.

- What is wrong with our government. This should have been done by now.

- I've always thought it was wrong for families to live overseas with their deployed spouses anyway. Keep the wives and kids in the US. If daddy is serving the wife and kids should STAY HOME! Then we wouldn't have to spend money for housing and travel - it would save millions. DUH!

- Tokyo mis-assessed the situation. NPPs must be secured by scientific methodology. Their deployment of nature like sea water or hoping that air or snow will save them is nothing more than a myth. America developed sophisticated technologies to reduce high temperatures and control flame. Basic mechanical and chemical technique will resolve this problem for the crippled power cores.

- For those questioning this, a carrier has 2 reactors and if the ship were to have an incident where they were required to take the reactor offline for some reason (such as failure of the cooling pump) or some mechanical problem in the drive system, the ship would be left adrift. Yes there are back up diesel generators, but those are only for power, not propulsion. There is a reason that Navy ships all have 2 or more engines in more than one engine room. Operating a ship with only one engine does not leave room for some sort of mechanical difficulty. It's the same reason when a passenger plane loses and engine (out of 2) they try to land it as soon as possible.

- Playing down potential risk with PC spin of stay calm, carry on rhetoric at this stage is counterproductive. It's obviously a mega catastrophe, so take decisive action accordingly. Elected US government once again been slow to objectively acknowledge and expertly react to a serious emerging threat. Prevention is vital to minimize global cross border implications. Worst case scenario not being used as first line of policy decision making. US citizens have been put at increased risk because of political choices to sit back, wait and hope for a best case with a guarded response. Simply is not a good enough government public health and safety strategy in 21st century. Unequivocally acknowledge, inform, and act on worst case danger. Stop playing safe politics. Weather and international travel or commerce routes may spread radioactive particles through borders around the world with ease. This Titanic like industrial disaster within aftermath of a massive natural disaster now mimics or equates to an indiscriminate dirty bomb detonation in a popular first world nation. The post event danger is escalating by the day yet US government with US citizens in harms way is being sluggish to sound the alarm and proactively react. Stop redefining what dangerous levels of unrestrained spewing radioactive debris may be to fit some rosey policy preferred reaction model. Evacuate and kick in all aggressive preventative measures to detect or decontaminate what is essentially now a macro nuclear hazard knocking at all international points of entry doors. This unleashed persistent manmade stealthy foe is invisible to unsuspecting victims, so worst case NEO diligence is only safe bet!

- This disaster has been made far worse by the corrupt Nuclear Lobby, including US nuclear companies and their PR agents. These companies are more concerned about their stock price and preserving their bad investment choices (and prior corrupt deals, safety violations, and faulty designs).
Because of this false information from pr spinners the nuclear lobby (and their media manipulators) -- we have failed to act quickly and decisively.
By spreading false stories that indicate there is no real problem or that the radiation is not that hazardous we have grossly underestimated the scope of this ongoing disaster, and we continue to fail to contain this thing.
This failure will affect millions of people, including people in the US. This disaster will affect children and future generations. Just look at the amount of land that is destroyed (and let's hope that does not expand to include the US west coast).
Reactor cores containing plutonium are cracked, the situation is NOT under control.
Urgent action is needed !!! - Reply to this comment
