Katrina
Hey people, what we need to do is come together as a Nation and help the people. We need to stop the finger pointing that immediately started up trying to lay blame. 90,000/sq miles of the U.S. is totally devastated. Can anybody grasp how hard it is to organize support for a disater that is bigger than anything we have ever witnessed. Everyone is trying to help, but can you imagine the logistical problem this created. You can't just send troops in if you can't support the troops. If they go in without support (food, water, gas, medical help, etc.) they become part of the problem. If you send troops from Ohio you have to get them packed 1 to 2 days and then on the road 1 to 2 days before they can even get there. I know because my son helped work the logistics support of a Air Nat'l Guard Combat Communications unit in Ohio. They got on the road yesterday. You just can't move organizations overnight. One thing I do know, nobody and I mean nobody slow rolled the support because the New Orleans folks didn't vote right or because of their enthnicity. Again we need to get beyond this finger pointing and work together as the UNITED STATES.
P.S. All the national media seems to be doing is taking sides in the finger pointing.
