BAGHDAD — Two commanders today from the Louisiana National Guard in Iraq (256th Brigade) told a TV camera that 400 of the 3,000 National Guard soldiers in Iraq have lost homes or had families displaced by Katrina.
Most of the soldiers have been in contact with their families (many by e-mail), but about one or two percent of them still have NOT been able to contact families members.Louisiana National Guard Brig. Gen. John Basilica said “some of these soldiers have nothing to go back to, all they have is the uniforms on their backs and what they have with them, and their families are the same way.”
And now the military is recruiting inside the Astrodome.
Oh, by the way the First Amendment is also a casualty of FEMA, according to Brian Williams
