Troop Movement

Has everyone seen this yet?  Hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops have been mobilized to shovel snow.  This is the best usage of military “strength” that I have seen in a long time.  This story is all over the place, check CNN or Reuters for more on what’s going on with the snowstorms in China. I’m not sure what is more striking? The fact that the Chinese don’t seem to have a mechanized system to deal with snow removal or the fact that they have used such a large portion of their military to such humanistic ends.
