this is begging. nothing else.

I don't see any begging in the original post. All the poster did was
inform everyone that Capt. Haynes' daughter needs help.

One of the characteristics that makes the United States so great is that
people are willing to help other people in need, and not just other
Americans, but people from all over the world. As you demonstrate,
though, our generousity is often not appreciated by those from other
countries.
