What are Louisiana National Guardsmen in Iraq Thinking Right Now?

[Bobbieo]

I'll bet most of them are royally pissed.

[Drum]

1. sleepless nights

watching the news
cursing their luck
missing their folks
changing their minds

[lebkuchen]

2. Not just the LA NG

3. I wonder if the newsfeed from home has been cut off yet?

4. Been wondering that for days

5. I bet they have no idea.

I bet that they could never imagine that this would happen in America.

6. "I should be there."

"I know the neighborhoods.
I know the main routes, and the alternative routes.
I know the community.
I grew up with a basic understanding of the levee system.
I hope my family is okay.
I hope they have enough water & food.
I hope they're dry.
I hope they're alive."

7. Probably a lot of "Oh shit!"

:shrug:

8. I hope they haven't been experiencing the worst of the worst in

Iraq... Seeing their government sell their own families and people out-- letting them die through pure neglect and incompetence--combined with a little PTSD, will surely have some going postal once they come back.

I just don't know what to say. I'm so ashamed of my country right now....

10. I'm so ashamed of my country

9. A LA Nat'l Guard soldier said he would "rather be in Iraq" than NO

The news used his name and everything---said that he "would rather be in Iraq"-- that at least there they would have protection from the crowds and get 3 meals a day (then he listed a few other things that I cannot think of right now).

Bet he will be getting a one way ticket to Iraq by lunchtime tomorrow, compliments of chimp's people.
