Most of what you said is just your opinion and you don not talk for the Marine Corps.

"I apologize if I offended you ILVMNY, but I am standing my ground on the fact that we didn't do our best. We could have had ships there, maybe not the Comfort, but at least two aircraft carriers with the 2nd Marine Division pitching tents on the flight deck. The rule of threes says the President has the ability and the right to deploy Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Forces without congressional approval for 90 days. Haiti is closer to the lower 48 than Alaska or Hawaii. If a disaster happened in Anchorage or Honolulu, you bet that a fleet of US ships would be there in 24 hours, if not 72 when the most crucial and critical time is at hand".

There fleets of ships in HI and Alaska all the time - There may not be a fleet close to Haiti or in the Carribean at that time of the earthquake. Haiti ports were damaged and also, are too small to for aircraft carriers. 2nd MarDiv in is Iraq an Afganastan.
