"Do you seriously think the US would send in military units to perform relief work unarmed? Not even side arms? In New Orleans, snipers on the ground were shooting at unarmed National Guard helicopters. Do you think the feds would order regular army helicopters to not return fire? Part of the job of sending in the military is to restore order. That is police work."

I hate to say it but this was simply not the case. The media simply became hysteric but 99% of the reprots the media treated as real were simply BS

I wasn't talking about what allegedly went on in the Superdome. I was talking about National Guard helicopters whose crews reported being shot at. I think they are much more reliable witnesses. Furthermore, after the army came in there were incidents in which snipers shot at people in the army sent do perform relief and rescue missions. There were several stories posted on Free Republic about eight snipers who were killed by the army after they started firing at the army.
