Not necessarily as described, but I don't really look at it much different than protecting shipping lanes and things like that. You can't have gangs just taking over countries, and especially with it being so close to the US and other partners, you'd think at least the US would have interest in stepping in. It's interesting how you could rah rah the US into Korea and into Vietnam etc.. but the same patriotic sentiment couldn't be prodded for a near neighbour like Haiti. Or just that the debacle that were those conflicts (and other Cold War era and colonial issues) has left the US and western partners gun-shy to jump to protect people (Ukraine being an example too). What's the army actually for? Just watching from the sidelines with a bunch of cool stuff?
