Letters to the Editor: Why couldn't we save snow-bound mountain community residents? (via latimesopinion )
I can forgive officials in our local mountain communities for not having enough snow-moving equipment to cope with the recent blizzards of the century. This is understandable.Having served as a physician in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War, I am well aware of how quickly and efficiently the military can react during a crisis. Troops could have been dropped by helicopter to assist stranded families.
What I do not understand is this: Where are our state and federal governments? Where is the Army Corps of Engineers? If we rush aid and assistance to victims of war, famine and natural disasters halfway across the world, why can’t we take care of our own expeditiously?
