One of my favorite episodes of the TV series M*A*S*H was when the unit prepared to “Bug Out.” Rumor had it that the enemy might be heading toward the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital and the team might have to pack the unit up and move.
Of course there were detailed plans in place for such a situation and everyone was well trained on their jobs. When I enlisted in the Air Force my mother kept telling me it would not be like M*A*S*H, her way of warning me that military service would not include the antics of folks like Hawkeye and Klinger. After Basic Training, when I found out I was going to be a Korean linguist and heading to Korea I called my mother and said “Guess what mom!” My unit, located atop of Hill 170 on Osan Air Base also had to be prepared at a moment’s notice to bug out, and rumor on our base was that if the 6903rd was ever seen bugging out all hell was about to break loose. Mere minutes from the demilitarized zone by air, and with us still technically at war, that possibility was always on our minds.
Fast forward to Feb. 28, 2026, at a Naval installation in Bahrain, home of the Navy’s 5th Fleet. Despite the president reportedly being warned that Iran might attack neighboring countries if the United States and Israel initiated a war, he was confident that Iran would quickly surrender. Instead, Iran attacked targets in Kuwait, where U.S. troops were killed, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain. NPR reports that at least seven buildings on the Bahrain base were struck between February 28th and March 6th. Around 1,500 Sailors, Marines, families, and several hundred pets suddenly had to bug out. There was so little notice that most people were only able to take the clothes on their backs and a backpack or duffel bag. The team at the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) jumped into action, putting staff and volunteers into airports and bases around the world to offer immediate assistance.
I interviewed Rear Admiral Dawn Cutler (ret.), chief operating officer of NMCRS about their work supporting those who were evacuated from Bahrain. In operation since 1904, the organization is well prepared for emergencies like this. Everyone stationed in Bahrain was required to document a “Safe Haven” they would go to should they ever need to evacuate. The military would facilitate their travel to those safe havens but basic needs like food, clothing and toiletries, interim stays at hotels and other basic life expenses would have to be paid for out of pocket, with reimbursements possible for some of those costs at some time in the future. NMCRS gave $500 grants to thousands of people in need to help cover some of those expenses, spending $1 million in just a few weeks. According to NMCRS, “For many families, this has meant avoiding debt, staying housed, access to emergency travel, or simply bridging the gap created by the upheaval of war. These moments of support ripple far beyond finances. They restore peace of mind and give service members the reassurance that they and their families are cared for during remarkable times such as these.”

According to Cutler, most of the people affected by the evacuation have now reached their safe havens and have to wait to see what happens next. She shared how incredibly resilient the servicemembers and their families are, how families pull together to support each other, and how important it is for all of us to support organizations like NMCRS. I agree! Like most working class Americans, our troops and their families are often just one crisis away from devastating financial difficulties. If you want to support our troops please consider making donations to or volunteering with NMCRS, the Air & Space Force Aid Society, Army Emergency Relief, Coast Guard Mutual Assistance, or the United Service Organizations (USO).
Beyond making donations and volunteering more needs to be done to truly support those who are willing to sacrifice everything to defend our country. The president should not have initiated this war without consulting and gaining agreement from the American people and Congress. After the president’s most recent threat to wipe out Iran’s entire “civilization,” Congress should reconsider a War Powers Resolution to put an end to this war. Since the president has initiated a naval blockade against Cuba, Congress should also use its power to prevent war there.
Congress should also craft legislation to provide future military evacuees with immediate cash assistance, $2,500 per service member, so that those who are giving so much to our country don’t have to suffer the additional stress of not being able to pay for basic needs when the time to Bug Out comes.

Thanks for your column today, Mr. Wiesner, and for illustrating why our (yes, our) great President Trump’s willingness to fight back against Iran’s 47 year war against the U.S. was needed. Iran is attacking targets everywhere but Iran, regardless of whether these targets took sides. With such unstable leadership from Iran, we can only hope that an agreement is not reached and when the ceasefire is over in a few days, President Trump will wipe out, as you describe, Iran’s entire “civilization.” Would many object? As for a “war” against Cuba, I wouldn’t consider it a war. Maybe a “battle” if even that. BTW, how about Germans and Englishmen joining the Irish to protest the far-left’s tyrannical policies? Perhaps war is brewing there...
Craig - you must be kidding. "The president should not have initiated this war without consulting and gaining agreement from the American people and Congress" The element of surprise was a major advantage in Fast and Fury. Do you honestly believe that our Congress which cannot even agree on funding our homeland security would have consented. If we are to rely on that lame bunch, nothing will ever get done. Also, foreign service and military personnel volunteer for these assignments and are fully instructed on coping with unforeseen emergencies.
Dirk, you must be kidding. Our Constitution gives the right to declare war to Congress, however incompetent it may be. Trump has committed war crimes by starting this war, and, if not enough, by threatening to wipe out a whole civilization. By any measurement, this war has been a disaster and Iran's standing has only been enhanced.
Rel - Trump did not declare war against Iran, although he had plenty of reasons to do so as stated specifically by all of his predecessors. Trump is the first one to take action and was committed to red lines that were marginalized by Obama and Biden. Perhaps a detail that you forget. Also, Iran's standing has been enhanced? In whose opinion, the other Islamic lunatics in the world who would have no problem slicing your throat and abusing your female dear ones? Whose side are you on anyway?
Again Dirk, are you kidding? By one's actions shall you know them. He bombed Iran, which by most calculations, is an act of war. You are resting on nomenclature? Tell the families of the 13 soldiers who died that Trump did not declare a war. Tell all the innocent civilians in Iran who died in their children's hospital that this is not a war. Iran agreed to not pursue a nuclear bomb manufacture in a diplomatically signed agreement to hold firm for 15 years. The only marginalization going here is your sweeping the dissolution by Trump under a rug. As a military veteran, I am on the side of peace as I know first hand that war rarely works, especially the ones the United Nations condemns.
At what point do the Facebook, Twitter and San Mateo “truth gastapo” editors step in and stop this REL individual from posting this falsehoods ? I don’t know if these are lies, ignorance, hate, or all of the above but what this guy / girl posts is flat out contrary to what the factual truth is and what our constitution says. These TDS fake opinions / lies should not be allowed because there are too many innocent vulnerable minds who are being manipulated and tortured.
So, CA is Burning, unlike you, I am not hiding behind a fake name. My real name is Rel and I am a 81 year old male veteran of the Viet Nam conflict. How about you cease attacks on a person and instead offer your contrary facts? I noticed you did not refute one fact I used and instead used the tired TDS label. Stop being a coward and state an actual fact based commentary and allow SMDJ readers to judge for themselves what is appropriate and true.
Talking about genocide is bad enough. We forgave the $10M bounty we had on the Al-Qaeda leader in Syria so that his army would overthrow Assad and let us control their oil. We made the head chopper their president and now he’s shaking hands with world leaders. This war needs to stop because the damage is already bad enough to cause a global depression. It's not about nuclear weapons at all. Our president said as much on 4/6 when he said he wanted to "take the oil.” Iran is using economic leverage and will not roll over. It will hold out as long as it can. It can make $20,000 drones forever. Just a couple of attacks on oil tankers, and insurance for them will stop traffic. Just as Trump said he wanted to pick the next leader so we don't have to do this again in five years, Iran is saying the same. They want nothing less than the US out of Middle East because it is the cause of the problems there. All the bases out. The US air bases there all had expensive radars that were executing the attacks. All five, half the US inventory, were destroyed by Iran. All the AI farms and Wrestlemania out because as long as the region is economically linked to US interests, they are under constant US threat. If a Gulf state decides to go against US interests, we’ll seize their assets here. And the condition of the 1974 treaty was to price oil in US dollars. They invest their profits here. They’re helping pay for our $39 T debt, the largest in the world. Now Trump wants to double military spending to $1.5 T per year. It should be through taxes because we won’t be able to borrow any more when the world is in a depression like in the thirties and other countries need to subsidize their starving citizens because there is not enough fertilizer to grow food. Factories will close and because there is not enough helium to make computer chips or aluminum or sulfuric acid. The neo-cons behind the war are okay with this because we control the energy trade, but our companies are highly leveraged and there is large personal debt. If companies go under, and people can’t pay their bills because they have medical debt, we will have economic collapse. Let’s hope the rest of the world talks some sense into this administration and stops the war.
Hilarious. Thanks, ClashFan, for the rehash of Democrat talking points. However, the foundation of your view is flawed and as such, negates your panican and fear mongering blame game. The war was begun by Iran 47 years ago and the U.S. is finally responding. That being said, the war does need to stop and it is up to Iran to make the right choice. If not, I look forward to bridges and power plants day(s). Meanwhile, in a more pressing matter, any thoughts on the new Honey Graham Latte ice cream flavor?
ClashFan - are you getting your input from Tucker Carlson or Nostradamus? You've got it all figured out, haven't you? A vast, giant conspiracy run by the Israel and big oil. Your e-version of the "End Is Near" sign. You are entertaining, I have to admit.
REL - nice to know you are on the same track as Joe, 81 years old is quite an accomplishment. Paid for democrat agitators like to DOX individuals who disagree with them, see ICE as one of the latest examples. I read the SMDJ for years and I have seen how the left leaning opinion persons can NEVER be truthful when it comes to Trump or some social issue they see differently. So trying to debate individuals who can rarely tell the truth is like talking to a cement wall, it's pointless.
Putting my name in public view would most likely cause me and my family great harm. BTW, who I am is unimportant because I am a nobody and I don't need to be the next Savanah Hernandez or Charlie Kirk.
You want refuted facts?
This Iran situation is compelling as other War power decisions made by Clinton, Obama, & Joe in which these prior presidents, have unilaterally undertaken the use of force. Unlike some other situations in which recent presidents ordered military action, the threat to the United States from a nuclear-armed Iran is direct. The U.S. would be at grave risk of an Iranian nuclear attack on American naval forces in the Persian Gulf or neighboring air bases, especially considering that Iran has for decades attacked U.S. personnel directly and through its proxies.
The important national interests served by the attacks on Iran’s nuclear weapons facilities have been further delineated in explanations by Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Trump of their commitment to use force if necessary to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. Over the past 20 years, Congress has never acted to prohibit or restrict military action. To the contrary, on Nov. 1, 2023, the House of Representatives passed a resolution — by an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 354 to 53 — declaring that “it is the policy of the United States … to use all means necessary to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.”
Comprende? I am sorry if I hurt your feelings, that wasn't my intention, but as Umpire Bill Klem said, "I call 'em as I see them".
Nah, you didn't hurt my feelings. Who you are is unimportant to me. I never let true ignorance cause me dismay. You know who has made your safety a new concern in today's society? ICE, and by extension, Trump. You know who is almost never truthful, and by extension, his fellow travelers, Trump.
As to Iran, 11 years ago, Iran agreed, on page three of the JCPOA, to not pursue the development of a nuclear bomb. This diplomatic agreement was put together with
Iran, China, France, Germany, Russia, UK, EU, and the USA. Iran was complying and allowed regular visits by independent scientists to confirm compliance. Guess who was the only country to tear up the agreement? The USA, in one of the first things Trump did upon election just to reverse an Obama victory. Today we ae decided less safe by nearly any measurement because of the gross ignorance of Trump.
Rel - you are a nice guy but you need to remember that the group of scientists, including the IACC, was never truly allowed to visit the nuclear development facilities. The IACC was always complaining about that which was covered extensively even by our legacy news sources. That is why Trump, on behalf of this country, finally saw the light and tore up the useless agreement while those were also signatories were quietly applauding him. The Iran government is a notorious liar and has never complied with any understanding that those of us in the West would find a honorable agreement. You clearly underestimate their mentality. On a relative note, your same favorite regime just announced that several women who were protesting recently will be gang raped before they are hanged in public. Put that in your peace pipe and smoke it. Ask the Iranians who have been subjected to these criminals for 50 years about Trump's ignorance. Besides, Obama was a fool and and a water boy for those lunatics. A man of peace like you would not last 24 hours in Iran at this time.
Diplomacy isn't giving a terrorist nation $1.7 BILLION and then turning their backs and intentionally ignoring Iran's nuclear build up. As Dirk said, Trump tore up the agreement because the agreement was nothing more than a paper Tiger. Obama was spineless and the nations you listed were as well. Most of them, except for Russia and China, are being taken over by the Islamic cult and can't see the writing on the wall. Trump saw the writing and does what is right for America and the world benefits. When will you take your blinders off, and stop twisting things to placate your own wishful feelings? Like I said before, if Iran had struck the USA with a nuclear weapon you would have been the first one screaming, orange man bad and orange man is incompetent. Your ICE and Trump extension is like individuals who think that if someone is not in favor of gay marriage that they must hate gays. That's stupid logic and if you want a safer world, then please ask your agitator friends to stop attacking ICE.
Hilarious. We have Rel demanding another contributor cease attacks on a person and yet Rel is calling them a coward. Hypocrisy abounds. Of course, we all remember this is the Rel who still tries to blame our (yes, our) great President Trump for the 1/6 riot which occurred due to Pelosi’s admitted dereliction of duty to protect the Capitol. If Rel perpetually lies about that then what else is he willing to lie about?
We also have Rel claiming his real name is Rel. As it is now, anyone can claim to be anyone on this site. There’s no verification process. Prove you’re the “real” Rel. As for the TDS label, we note you didn’t refute the label.
As for Rel's Democrat talking point about Iran and their nuclear ambitions, I'd recommend he do a search for “IAEA Iran not in compliance” or words to that effect and he’ll see his Iran narrative is false. Seems to me Rel is the one who is almost never truthful, and by extension, his comments.
