Les, I assure you and everyone else that my question was sincere. However, after the first few flame responses I suspect herd mentality took over as is the case on many threads. The tone of replies is set by the first few responders.

I saw, along with the rest of the world, how the Coast Guard was rescuing people by the thousands. I also saw all the looters and violence. Not being familiar with military matters, it was puzzling why we did not have military trying to save lives and property., by stopping the violence.

At least I know next time not to concern myself with the safety of my fellow citizens, and bow to the military/political crowd.

Way to weather the storm, boys. Hang tough! Many run from flamers but you stood firm and argued your points. Whether I agree or disagree with your question is not the issue. What I salute is you standing your ground.
