This idea of having the military do everything is stupid and dangerous.
Of course, the primary reason they do it is that the military takes orders and they don't pay them nearly as much as civilians.
Hey, people complained about the poor response in New Orleans. Blamed the Feds for not responding quickly enough.
From now on, count on the Feds (military, etc.) to be there right away whether or not they are wanted or needed.
I figured that if something like this ever cut loose, they'd have to do something to organize a quarantine. But as far as I know, the use of the miliary (here) for this is rather unprecedented.

I agree. I, however, believe that if the law is followed, and the state Governors can be properly trained and coordinated in terms of an integrated plan for dealing with this, we don't have to throw posse comitatus out the window.
