Unless we want to be seen as a laughing stock in the eyes of the world, a hypocrite of a country in various benevolent adventures in various nations abroad trying to bring THEM American 'peace' and 'order' and 'democracy' we better start putting these disgraceful animals, these 'looters' down on site. If it takes helicopter gunships. There is no excuse for this in the United States of America during a human disaster of this proportion. We don't need these looters taking up any more air or space in our precious land.

"If it takes helicopter gunships."

I understand your outrage but that could never occur under any conceivable Rules of Engagement employed by an American unit.

And there will be no "full auto" either.

Remember everybody -- there isn't a NG unit in the U.S. which does not have JAG officers advising them on ROEs.

Hurricane Katrina had a plan for the war but not a plan for the peace.
