What I recall is the government of Indonesia or Sri Lanka, can't remember which, having grave concern over the U.S. military (Navy) presence and would not allow Naval training exercises to maintain pilot proficiency ratings in its waters. I do not recall the "locals", if by that you mean citizens affected by the Tsunami, having anything but gratitude for the aid provided. I recall scenes of people rushing out in mass whenever a helicopter landed to get what they could in terms of food, water, and whatever else was being distributed.

Never saw any such helicopters at the Convention Center or the Superdome. Where was the aid at these locations on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday???
