In the hurricane relief effort, the U.S. deployed over 30 thousand troops with equipment and provisions for an entire city, restored order in the city, and evacuated it at the same time levee repairs were underway.

They did it in less than a week! And let's not forget that all land operations moved over hurricane ravaged terrain equal in size to the entire country of Great Britain.

This has been one of the most impressive operations in history.

Way to put it! You sparked my memory of the success of the War in Iraq. We kicked their keesters up the Tigris and Euphrates so quick their heads were spinning. It was a totally impressive and successful military operation. The MSM is on the dark side spinning and spinning. Thanks for giving perspective to all.
