The Biloxi Sun-Herald is quite upset with the cavalier attitude of the Air Force there. From today's editorial:
People are hurting and people are being vandalized.

Yet where is the National Guard, why hasn't every able-bodied member of the armed forces in South Mississippi been pressed into service?

On Wednesday reporters listening to horrific stories of death and survival at the Biloxi Junior High School shelter looked north across Irish Hill Road and saw Air Force personnel playing basketball and performing calisthenics.

Playing basketball and performing calisthenics!

When asked why these young men were not being used to help in the recovery effort, our reporters were told that it would be pointless to send military personnel down to the beach to pick up debris.

I'm sorry but something about that editorial just doesn't pass the smell test. Commanders and Sr NONCOMS know better and are trained better than that. Something just doesn't smell right.
