How much ammunition do you normally need for hurricane relief

This is an honest question

Depends on the area, the scale of damage, blah blah blah. As in every disaster response the needs vary. The real problem that leads to guardsmen not having ammunition is that they are guardsmen and we are better of not giving them live ammo.

But incase you were wondering. If they were marginally competent, you would want them armed in the event of looting and general civil unrest that follows disasters.

Why intentionally isolate yourself into an echo chamber of comforting thoughts? I keep contact with people I disagree or flat out don't like so I can get perspective on how dumb/ugly/wrong they can be. Sometimes I learn something new! Did you know that there is a HUMAN skull on mars? The president is gay! Here's a totally not photoshopped picture of him french kissing the french president! GROSS!

To the surprise of ABSOLUTELY NO ONE EVER, Ferguson is burning to the ground.

But the unrest is not just isolated to the north side of St Louis. Halfway around the world some Chinese are still REAL MAD they don't have democracy.

In reality they usually don't send Guardsmen out armed and nobody really listens to us. My unit got called out for hurricanes/tropical storms in recent years. Some guys brought their personal sidearms for night patrols, but the few people who were out to loot abandoned homes would bail when they saw flashlights and people in uniform. The only time people got pissed was when the mayor ordered a house destroyed due to structural instability and being a hazard and a group of our guys had to run control on a non-plussed crowd.

The really funny stories are from people not listening and trying to bypass checkpoints. After these storms areas of the Susquehanna river rose as much as 40 feet, putting many roads and homes underwater. We had humvees setting up blocking checkpoints to keep people from going down roads they would need a boat for. Of course there were dummies who called bullshit and found a way past the checkpoints through sidestreets, and then would look really sheepish when our boats would have to pick them up from where their former-SUV-now-submarine was.

Ok, enough of this crypto-racist "is it RAHOWA time yet?" bullshit. The grand jury has reached its decision. Acting like this is a win for your team grossly oversimplifies the situation and is the mirror image of the poo poo you all make fun of D&D for.

Listen up twinkle toes, just because Clinton convinced most of us to quit tying your type to trees up yonder and beating the urges out of you like it says in that one part of the bible I hide my meth in doesn't mean you get to moderate our ideas and how poorly we decide to articulate them in our online Internet comedy military sub forum of choice.

Our emperor not only has no clothes but he's also a known associate of Ozmadan and has not forsaken all stars, including mods, for the one true lol: Wanton Indiscriminate violence and destruction under whatever pretext our collective neocortexts' poo poo out at the congressional hearings for War Crimes against enemies of this great land both foreign and domestic in the defense of keeping this country a p. Chill spot to be from even with people like Mike Brown and anyone who likes ISIS or submits to Islam walking this earth and wasting our good air.

Ain't nothing crypto about the agreed upon group think here. We're all pretty much pro cops shooting thugs who are either attempting to escape the scene of a crime or assaulting an officer in the process of attempting an arrest.

Just because Dizzle Wizzle didn't have a tranq gun to bring down a fully choomed up 290 pound male adolescent specimen of thuggery doesn't mean he shouldn't have the right to prevent harm to himself or that excuse for a community, or that pitiful communities property and so called "people."

The Justice system worked, and it's HILARIOUS how far SJW's, including our little closeted SJW Mod N4I, will go to paint anyone who thinks this poo poo is funny or fair as racist or ignorant.

I'll Oxford style debate your rear end on this topic with time restrictions if you like, N4I. The only way you win that one is to tighten your wrists up enough to click the "log out" button.

You know we love you N4I. Why do you say such things.
