A good portion of the LA-NG is in Iraq...

Yes they are I think the number is about 35%. What's your point? The 65%
that is available is under the command of the Gov. of Louisiana.

They took the equipment with them, not just themselves...

Actually quite a bit of the equipment they are using was there when they got
their and had been forward deployed and is not LA-NG equipment. But yes some
of the equipment is there maybe even a lot of LA-NG equipment is there.

What do you think that equipment was built for? While the NG is a great
disaster relief organization that is not its primary reason for being and
neither is giving kids a way to make extra money for college.
