pull everyone out but if you feel I need to be there to schedule and load plan then okay but it is just one more person to evacuate and I think the military logistics folks are a bit more up to speed on the required job than someone who dealt with consumer goods and people in former lives.

However, if going is what it takes to get us the hell out of Dodge then I'll do it.

Care all you want but our "help" is nothing of the sort to them or us. TheKentuckian Feb 2015 #11

"Help" does not have to mean using the military. Since when did liberals think that is the only way pampango Feb 2015 #12

What else does it ever mean in this kind of context, except maybe clandestine meddling? TheKentuckian Feb 2015 #14

I just don't want liberals to adopt attitude "you folks are good but you live in a cesspool pampango Feb 2015 #18

I don't recall saying anything about a cesspool and still don't know what "help" even is to you. TheKentuckian Feb 2015 #20
