The Chiefs and Royals kicked in $35k each, and I think the Cardinals added $25k. I haven't heard anything about the Rams, but I suspect they will contribute, too. So many local volunteers are showing up that they have to be turned away.
Some of us got to talking about the horror and someone { male} piped up with a good question.
We Americans have never seen a full out war State Side since the Civil War---------Had this been an enemy attack and not a natural disaster what would have been the difference to the lives of the people in that area.
Can anyone other then our service men that have seen action in the ME or Europe WW2 comprehend what would come next. ????
According to the male had this been a terrorist bomb, non nuclear, With in 3 hours a band of 200 terrorists could have come in with guns blazing and wiped out most of the survivors.
His major problem is when those terrorists get a clue on our weather and just wait for a time to do their worse.
I have to admit I have thought of what a difference in causality's there would have been had the 9/11
terrorists struck in the freezing cold of the deep winter.
I do not know who this writer is but for the last couple years he has brought up this scenario to some of us, lessons on how Russia and their horrid winters protected them from invasion going back to Napoleon
and the Gemans. How the German winters slowed us down due to the cold and head high snowbanks.
Looking at Joplin and the devastation caused by nature, to try to imagine even worse to come for survivors of a natural disaster, earth quakes, fires out of controll, hurricanes and floods, and the tornado's, sooner or later the terrorists will take advantage of mother nature to do their worse.
Question here, can anyone give me a good come back to this guy or is he right on the money????
