You know, during the Salvadoran Civil War, with the left in Congress doing everything in their power to ensure a communist win, it occurred to me (I was a lieutenant in Panama at the time and, maybe, with a stretch, somewhat peripherally involved) that there was one form of aid to the Salvadoran Army we could have sent and to which no leftist could raise a public complaint, a hospital ship. Would have helped them a lot, too.

I peripherally worked with a guy who was probably in ES around that time. His wife had given an ultimatum "if you deploy again, I'm out." He went o El Salvador for two years.
