Also, I was in N.O., N.O. East, Arabie, Chalmette, etc. less than a week after Katrina. I have sympathy for all that had to be in that hell hole. Many had to leave their on homes before the syorm and had that on their minds. I have to give some credit to those people ... but that's just me.

And I completely got his point about hurricane duty, generally - somebody compares handing out ice, water and MREs for a week or 2 in Hammond or wherever to a real deployment, whether that be to a hardship tour in Korea, Kosovo or Kuwait, much less Iraq or Afghanistan is asking for somebody like GK to call them.

But anybody who was ordered to the Superdome or Jackson Barracks immediately prior to Hurricane Katrina and served in those conditions for 4 to 6 months afterwards.... if that doesn't count as a deployment, at least unofficially, I don't know what else qualifies.

I live by all gave some, some gave all. I don't care how little one gives, they went through the training and doing what they were asked to do.

Another point to this is reserves get tuition money. That is part of their benefit package. If someone begrudges them this they should take it up with the g'ovt. The people aren't to blame.

I got a question, some guy said he RAd me. What da hell does that mean??
