Most Louisiana guards returning from Iraq opting out of hurricane work (AFP)
WASHINGTON (AFP) - Nearly two thirds of a Louisiana national guard brigade returning from Iraq have indicated they will opt out of serving in hurricane relief efforts and return to private life, their commander said.
Brigadier General John Basilica said he had surveyed the 256th brigade's 2,500 guardsmen and about 1,500 said they planned to return to private life. Only about 800 said they would stay and serve in their storm devastated state.

Seem quite to the contrary then what is being reported on the news.
I know it might be unpatriotic to some, especially soldiers...but I did fly my flag the other day...Our country is in distress.
Peace to you and yours.
Where are ya buddy?
I hope everything's OK on your end.

Fred at Making Conservatives Cringe has a good piece on the silencing of the soldiers who speak out against Iraq.
Yes Carl. Tell us you're OK.
