But even then the scale is vastly different. In rebuilding Puerto Rico we will be using vast resources to restore a 21st century standard of living. The Project has advanced technology, but that's the only similarity. The Project isn't trying to (in any short term) rebuild pre-war civilization - they are trying to elevate an existing and relatively stable, low-tech society to something better. They have fusion plants and water treatment plants, birthday aren't rebuilding towns, they are elevating basic needs.
The Peace Corps and Special Forces don't rebuild - They elevate.
