Hell, bring in the C-17's, and C-5A's and C-130's. Marshall

This is one point I can't understand .... you (the USA) is able
to invade a country in a matter of 1 or 2 days (I don't want to
argue about *that* right now), bring thousands of soldiers from
one side of the planet to the other one ... but: aren't you able
to bring several thousand of soldiers, a carrier, etc. down to
New Orleans? Let your troops do something useful.

I'm not a fan of the Iraq war but I can appreciate the logistical side of
going to war. Maybe the invasion only takes a few days, but months of
preparation went into those few days. On the other hand no one is really
preparing for a hurricane like this one.
