“a big waste of tax dollars”
No kidding! And why all the delay in getting them there? When LA rioted, the NG was there almost immediately. I don’t think much of Perry, he’s just milking this issue for his own political purposes. Not on my list of people that I would vote for for President. He’s not really a decisive leader, but then are there any today?
Uh... No. When LA rioted, it took two days to call out the Guard and initially they were deployed without ammo. It took another day for ammo to be authorized.
“When LA rioted, the NG was there almost immediately.”
A good part of LA burned before the NG showed up.
