JR, some fucktard (not sure who, but definitely not a military guy, either a pol or a bureaucrat) said somewhere in the press that they were holding back the Reserve in Baton Rouge (at the time) because he said "it was too dangerous to send them in".

This was a few days ago when they had 4,000 amassed there and no was sending them in yet, and that was allegedly the (cough, choke, spew) "rationale" behind it.

Wish I could find that damned article, but read too many over the past week to recall where I'd read it.
