She chose wisely.
If we circle back on her situation in ten or so years, and compare it with that of others her age in her circumstance in New Orleans, the difference will be stark.

There was a look of admiration for their heroes on the faces of a lot of young people who were rescued during Katrina's aftermath.
I wouldn't be surprised if more of them enlist in the future.

Can’t possibly be. The federal response to Katrina was zero. There no Marines there.
