I wonder if Katrina would have been different if 20k troops got there right away.

As long as its just National Guard, then I'm okay with this...

but if they start "deploying" the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, etc. inside our borders, then I'll be really confused. and somewhat scared...

FYI in an article in the army times they are blatantly saying they will be used for crowd control and civil unrest.....however you want to define that. It is also openly known that military have been training local police as well including but not limited to s.w.a.t groups.
