Shock
What’s happening in New Orleans is horrifying. What’s not happening there is even more horrifying. The lack of military mobilization and the non-existent aid that the residents of that devastated city are struggling with is sickening.I’ve been reading cnn.com and watching video clips online. In order to watch a news clip, I have to watch an advertisement for the U.S. Army first. So in order to see news footage of the unfortunate, low-income, minority Americans struggling to survive without the help of the government, I am first forced to sit there and watch a 60-second commercial targeted at the unfortunate, low-income, minority Americans who would supposedly benefit so greatly from joining the U.S. Army. That sick irony blows me away.
The Commander in Chief of this country needs to do something. Get our military out of Iraq. Put that manpower to work to help the hurricane victims. People are dying.
