The "four reasons" that U.S. military should involve

If the U.S. forces stationed in Afghanistan into Pakistan and use its huge power and transport construction materials to provide relief, there will be multiple benefits.
First, because Pakistan was accused of poor relief, the people down to their level of trust. U.S. disaster relief, it will enhance the image of the Pakistani government and control over the region.
Second, you can take to counter the anti-American forces. In war-torn border region of Pakistan, the U.S. military's image was tarnished UAV attacks and Blackwater, and just to repair the image.
Third, show the Taliban do not care about the interests of Pakistan. This is a great opportunity to weaken al-Qaeda, to Muslims that the terrorists do not care about people's suffering. The United States and the Government of Pakistan should do more to let Pakistanis abandoned organizations like the Taliban.
Fourth, the counter Iran's Baluchi extremism. The floods are mainly located in Pakistan's Balochistan province. Natural disasters come, the Baloch people in Pakistan will cross the border into Iran. In Iran, Baluchistan and the Iranian government in the terrorists have declared war on the war without such an influx of refugees would exacerbate the existing violence in Iran. This liberalization will be detrimental to Iran.
