This died preety quickly but has everyone forgot that
in an Army times article the brave people of New Orleans
were refered to as insurgents?



While some fight the insurgency in the city, other carry
on with rescue and evacuation operations. Helicopters
are still pulling hundreds of stranded people from rooftops
of flooded homes.


Army times article
The actual quote is about halfway down the Army times article.

Boing Boing article about "the insurgency"

By now most if not all of us know that they are/were not
insurgents but to me this is alarming. This shows what
some generals(I am not saying all) think about the citizens
of this country. Most of whom were protecting either
themselves or thier property. Now I am not saying that
there were no criminals carrying weapons using this situation
as a time to show off but most were not.

I am bringing this up becouse I do not want this to
be forgotten. I do not think this should be forgotten. This
is what the Government thinks of people who are trying to
survive during a time of great depression. During a time
when nobody was there to help them.

Please people, we must not forget about this.

Edit: Remember, we call the Iraqui resistance, insurgents.

Why innocent people trying to survive, or point a finger to injustice is being criminalized, jailed or shot, because of a failing governmental system is beyond me. I guess we just has to wake up and smell the taint fumes of a regime!



I agree that US citizens should not be called insurgents by their own government, but then again US citizens shouldn't shoot at rescue helicopters and innocent people, loot find or steal items not essential to survival and using the opportunity to prey on the weak and commit atrocious crimes like rapes, murderers etc.. I'm sorry but people stealing electronics, jewelry, raping and killing people are not innocent people just trying to survive. I bet the article was referring to the worst of the worst as insurgents like the guys shooting at helicopters, sniping at the hospital as people try to evacuate etc.

Unfortunately when the US military start killing insurgents there is LOTS of "collateral damage".. Do we really want the military in NO or any other American city where innocent citizens can become collateral damage? Not in my city thank you very much!
I don't even want them in Iraq causing collateral damage I sure as heck don't want them in the US doing it.
