I don't get it... why not some national guard units? Aren't they TRAINED for disaster recovery? As a former Marine, I can tell you what the Marines main mission is: Destroy The Enemy. Babysitting is not our job.

I know that we are trained for quick response and what not, but I feel that using the Marines as a police force is a waste of resources and keeps us from doing what we do best (though of course we hope and pray that it doesn't have to come to that in the first place).

Ok, end rant.
