Everyone Who Dislikes/Likes George W. Bush, Tell Us Why In Your Own Words
You like to feature your experience in the guard, well I'm going to share something I haven't yet. A colleague of mine at LSU-A flies in the Civil Air Patrol.
I joined the Louisiana Army National Guard in December, 1979, and served with them until August 2001.
My friends, former collegues and former students were at the Superdome during and after the storm, they were at Jackson Barracks when the water rose, they were there when the national press was saying they weren't there.
I will not betray their confidence and discuss anything they've told me, so I won't discuss it here.
If someone felt that the 225th Engineer Group, composed of five battalions of Iraq War veterans, would have been overwhelmed...well, I'd love to see that assessment.
There's no way you're going to convince me that five armed battalions of Combat Engineers couldn't have established order in the CDB, the Superdome and the Convention Center.
