It's the LEAST they can do

I mentioned Friday (Critical of the Pickle) how America is evacuating, for FREE, our citizens in Lebanon.

I read an excellent idea from Rich Galen that was posted at Townhall.com...

Here's my idea du jour: In return for a free trip to Baltimore paid for by American taxpayers in places like Marietta, Ohio 45750, the refugees from the "most exclusive and expensive international outlets" in Beirut should surrender whatever unused tickets they have. The State Department should hand those tickets over to, say, the Salvation Army which would, in turn, make them available to the families of wounded American service members. The families - because we KNOW the airlines will participate in this - would then be able to use those tickets toward the cost of visiting their loved ones in Landstuhl, or Walter Reed, or Bethesda Naval Hospital. That would be a good deal for all.
