Reply #5: It's really funny. These people are paid to execute in mission

critical situations, and when they fall flat on their faces in scores of at least seemingly inexcusable ways resulting in the deaths of hundreds of US citizens, there is always someone around to say, "Brownie, you're doing a heck of job."

Funny that. Because there comes a point when incompetence is no less criminal than foul play, yet purveyors of the official line of shit cling to criminal negligence like it's a fucking life preserver.

What's the point of the trillions we've dished out over the years on national defense if we can't protect the country from a few passenger planes in a timely manner? What's the point of even having a federal government if we leave Americans exposed to die for the want of water, food and medicine for DAYS and DAYS after a widely predicted natural disaster?
