why you don't make it happen to bring thousands of soldiers in to New
Orleans. the first few days are important, not some days after the first
couple days passed.


1) Equipment and personnel are already enroute. (some are already
there)


Already? Get real, it is 5 days after the hurricane and they knew it was
coming several days before that. A full week after they should have been
called up for mobilization they are just now beginning to move.

2) The US military isn't forward deployed to the US.


The National Guard is and they have yet to arrive in any quantity.

3) Disaster recovery isn't a military mission (nor should it be)


Disaster asistance is a National Guard function yet except for a few that
have been deployed they appear to be sitting at home eating bon bons.
