Whose hue? Whose cry?
Doesn't that felt tipped pen with which you so conveniently rewrite history ever run dry?!?
The hue and cry (I've got to get it straight that it's "hue" and not "hew"...) was for getting relief supplies in place quickly...you know, that nasty stuff like food, water, ice (which your boy Brownie said was soooo unnecessary) blankets, cots, sanitation facilities.... There was no "hue and cry" for military until, after some three days without the above-listed necessities, order broke down.
You see, BeeP, if the most basic needs of the populace (yes, even the poor populace) are properly met, the need for M-16's tends to be exponentially reduced.
But of course, The Berk hasn't met a problem that an Armored personnel carrier couldn't fix...(Well, there is that little dust-up in some hobunk little country in the Middle East, but we don't want to go there, now do we?)
So we have to ask ourselves, who's doing the hueing and crying that you're constantly referring to? Certainly not the people who were not served during the disaster (and the disaster that followed the disaster). Certainly not those who were completely overwhelmed by the magnitude of the disaster vis-a-vis the resources available to help. And not those "first responders' you raise as the strawman-du-seconde. NO, I only hear your hue and cry from those who have absolutely no interest in actually serving those whom they are charged with serving, but rather from those who only want to rule.
Interesting how you would champion the ruling part, but not the serving part.
