Lots of us followed the Iraq invasion, and while diplomatic avenues were being followed, troops and material were being marshalled in Kuwait. It took WEEKS to organize the effort, and even that was blinding fast.
Our men and women in uniform are real pros, and damn, well, I'm tearing up beause I am so proud of them, and so sorry for the poor people in NOLA who suffered more than necessary because their polical leaders are incompetent.
Oh, seeing them drive into NO yesterday gave me chills. What an impressive sight they make.
I have the same feeling as you about our Guys and Gals in Uniform. The Libs have been trashing our Military about the War and in general and look who comes to the rescue. It makes you feel hope and faith, and the Reporters are so busy covering that aspect that they do not have time to pass on negativity and unsubstantiated hurtful rumors.
