When a state is overwhelmed from a disaster (fire, flooding, etc.) it is imperative for other states to lend a hand. This is one example.
Very unfortunately, that is not always how it works. When I served in the National Guard and was activated for the Red River Valley Flood of Spring 1997 flood, the North Dakota Army National Guard Equipment was not allowed to go to the Minnesota side and the Minnesota Army National Guard Equipment was not allowed on the North Dakota side. Seems like there was some "conflict" between the Nationa Guard Commanders.
Each of us soldiers, from both the the North Dakota side and the Minnesota side all had "U.S. ARMY" on our uniforms. But know it looks like there is better leadership and the willingness to help other states.

sg,
I tend to think that the reason that liberals hate to see young men join the military is because they know full well that these young men are real heroes and the kind of heroes that they wish that they were and the kind of heroes that they try very hard to make others beleive that they are. Worse yet, those who join the military are REAL men, again something that liberals wish that they could be. Liberal men are just a bunch of little girls born with the wrong junk. Reply...
So I have to ask why you are calling Barack Obama as "Hussein."
Jen:
If during WWII there had been a presidential candidate that was a socialist, that was a former Nazi, that was a supporter of the Nazis, that accused our troops of war crimes that never happened on a world stage, that belongs to a party that slanders our troops, that belongs to a party that hates our troops, that promised to surrender to the Nazis if elected, that is married to a woman that hates America, that attended a church that preached hatred for America, that attended a church that preached that we deserved Pearl Harbor, that was a racist and whose name was “Fred Hitler Jones”, I would probably call refer to him as “Hitler”.
In using his middle name (which is the same as the ruthless dictator that we overthrew and the same as many of the 9/11 hijackers), I am questioning his patriotism and who’s side he is on. It’s not about the name, it is about the character of the man. Simple as that.

Sadly while all us poor grieving boyz keep posting about how we get screwed, while all very true and without a doubt the system is made to do it, for the benefit of a lot of actors and so called professionals to make merry with family finances and worse. What is known is that at least 11000 women default on CS in Tennesse alone of those females the top 100 owe 11.8 million dollars. Guess what those are big numbers, and guess what the AG's don't go after them for the CS, why is that. I did ask once how many were defaulting in ND, but nobody came back with numbers. What I do advise all men who are about to face the system to understand, that it does not care about chivalry, it doesn't care whether you are a good daddy or even a bad one. What it does care about is getting money whether from you, the ex or the taxpayer. That is what it does, the judges are there to ensure that FOC quota's are met and fiscal budgets match. It will use and press the ex's buttons to make life interesting for them as an excuse. The media is there to suppress and support the gynocratic mantra. Judges will and do put men in prison just for sh*ts and giggles, because they can and it's fun for them. Yes, they do know the difference between good and evil, they choose the latter under the guise of law, and a lot of money. So politiely do not play the I am a man game anymore, this applies to males married or otherwise. Play the equality game, no more chivalry, no more predictability, no more being blackmailed by the ex or the courts. If you can please do educate others, be polite, be cautious and get the paperwork correct. Help other dad's and especially NCP's male or female if you can, form cooperative groups that support material resources. A lot of dad's out there can't really afford to see or even facilitate a reasonable visit with there children and have to pass, but many will try very hard to keep up with some pretty sick court ordered idea's for having a time with their children. All under the' best interests of the children' standard whatever that means. Please all remember the court has to order one person to be a non parent from what used to be be two loving parents, is it fair. We all know it isn't but someone has to win and someone has to lose, it's the American way. Sadly in this case it is millions of children who lose one parent, always remember that. There is also an extreme shortage of help for men, remember the law does not allow for a battered man to exist only women, and I am sure we all know a few women who live on a short fuse. While the subject is humorous, it is truly not, men although they put up a brave face are just as easily hurt and emotionally damaged as women, they just often will not admit it. Call it chivalry, call it funny , call it sad, call it stupid, call it he asked for it, whatever it is it is WRONG. While perjury on the say so of anyone is accepted in the family courts in increasing numbers. In divorce many men are suddenly catapaulted into being once perfectly good husbands and fathers, into the scum of the earth, with all the accompanying trash to fight over the legal predicted custody of children. After the attorneys have given the family assets a good hosing, They then play the psychological games and get all the rest of the clan in on the feed, it doesn't take much other than to convince the mommy and daddy that one of them gets the kids and the others don't. Mommy's usually are played well on this one, guess what daddy usually is the one that gives in, why. Yep, he loves the kids, mommy's ace, and guess what that is why mommy's are guaranteed the kids, Because most men will let them, because they still place mommy's on the pedestal. So learn boyz learn well, it is not fun, the kids get screwed, the attorneys earn their keep, mommy gets an extra paycheck until the kids are eighteen +, and then they get screwed by the system and thrown on to state welfare. Please remember also some of the accusations made with perjured evidence is very expensive to defend for dad's, and is a chief weapon used to get a straight up slapshot. More than 90% of those accusations can result in a daddy spending many years in prison, just for the legal fun of it by encouragement and because they can. A lot of very shady statistics come from family courts to back up some equally shady advocates, based on some equally shady funding. Reply...
