A friend of mine stationed Pentagon Clinic was on duty that day, and when they got hit, everyone was taking leads from the medical staff to help with the injured. General officers were dropping rank to ask him what to do to help, allowing a army captain to order them around. I was about 10 linear miles at another post, and it took a 3-star to order those of us with medic backgrounds to evacuate area and not go and help.

These people dealt with the harder hit of the two areas that day, put themselves voluntarily on the line to help in a circumstance outside their normal experience, and this is the thanks they get?!

No good deed...

Pass the program. It will get us that much closer to being like Europe. Wont that make everyone happy. Everything is perfect in the European socolists states... as long as you don't look at the economy.
