My partner's brother is currently stationed at Fort Bragg to be deployed to Iraq next month. As if that is not enough, they have just informed him that they may be deploying troops from Fort Bragg to New Orleans. These boys have enough strain on them knowing they are being sent to Iraq to die. Now we're sending them to New Orleans in the time they have left to visit their family?
I hope that this doesn't happen. Even if it isn't true, telling them these things can't weigh lightly on their minds.
Another disturbing thing that I heard (possibly a rumor, but I'd like it confirmed) is that one of the utilities firms down in New Orleans area recently placed an order for 20,000 body bags. The next day they supposedly placed an order for 20k more.
This whole situation is growing more and more desperate everyday. What is the administration doing?
