Welcome to what used to be home, boys!
Pretty sad stuff. The Louisiana National Guard is being transferred from one war zone to another.
CAMP VICTORY, Kuwait - Hundreds of soldiers from a New Orleans National Guard unit begin leaving Thursday to return to the devastation left by Hurricane Katrina. Guard officials said 80 percent lost homes or jobs and some had not heard from relatives since the storm.
Talk about taking care of our veterans. How do you suppose they'll feel about being in Iraq when they come home to nothing-- and aren't given the medical coverage guaranteed to their comrades in the Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force? They'll just be more homeless vets abandoned by their country. Disgraceful. Maybe they should change the name of that Kuwaiti base to 'Camp Unintentional Irony.'
