Maybe he should spend a little less time blogging and a little more time doing something productive.
I'm not serious...so no need to flame.
A lot of the milbloggers are getting a little pissed off at the media coverage of Katrina and certain demands of the American public. Here's one.

Katrina Aftermath Choke-the-LWM Moment # 749
As a former Air Force logistics officer, let me clarify the following for the idiots in the Left Wing Media:
1. Things can get destroyed far more swiftly than they can get fixed.
2. The United States military can wipe out the Taliban and the Iraqi Republican Guard far more swiftly than they can bring 3 million Swanson dinners to an underwater city through an area the size of Great Britain which has no power, no working ports or airports, and a devastated and impassable road network.
3. You cannot speed recovery and relief efforts up by prepositioning assets since the assets are endangered by the very storm which destroyed the region.
4. We do not yet have teleporter nor replicator technology like you saw on "Star Trek" in college between hookah hits and waiting to pick up your worthless communications degree while the grownups actually engaged in the recovery effort today were studying engineering.
5. Getting people out of the stricken areas is the most pressing concern, since we cannot get enough supplies into it to safely sustain them.
6. Getting the airport, bridges, and roads repaired is the next priority, since the supplies and people needed to fix levees, drain the city, and repair the infrastructure cannot be transported via aircraft. You need to truck them in.
7. Once the infrastructure is repaired, it is vital to get the ports in working order. Equipment and supplies can only be moved into the area in large quan ies by sea.
8. Only then can recovery efforts begin in earnest.
9. The above will take weeks and months, not days or hours.
10. No amount of yelling, crying, and mustering of moral indignation will change any of the facts above. Facts are facts. Opinion is cheap.
11. You could do more help actually keeping your damned satellite trucks out of the way of the folks doing the real work.
12. If you must vent your indignation, how about targeting the Louisiana officials who did absolutely nothing to protect their cons uents? At least you can help ensure the populace doesn't elect these clowns again.
And to be perfectly frank, FEMA's doing a lousy job of things in my opinion as well. Thank God for the U.S. military, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, and the various churches who are making things happen on the ground for the Americans in the disaster area.
