About a dozen people who headed down the street to look for food and water said they were turned back by a soldier who pulled a gun.Nuts Nuts NUTS!!!!! And as a friend pointed out, why can we airlift 150,000 troops anywhere but here?
"We had to get something to eat. What are they doing pulling a gun?" said Richard Johnson, 28.
The soldiers' arrival-in-force came amid angry complaints from local officials that the federal government had bungled the relief effort and let people die in the streets for lack of food, water or medicine as the city was overtaken by looting, rape and arson.
