Biloxi - Where are the Guard? Why are AF personnel playing games?

South Mississippi needs your help

The coastal communities of South Mississippi are desperately in need of an unprecedented relief effort.

People are hurting and people are being vandalized.

Yet where is the National Guard, why hasn't every able-bodied member of the armed forces in South Mississippi been pressed into service?

On Wednesday reporters listening to horrific stories of death and survival at the Biloxi Junior High School shelter looked north across Irish Hill Road and saw Air Force personnel playing basketball and performing calisthenics.

Playing basketball and performing calisthenics!
