  Rotten to the Corps

  You state that the Army Corps spends money "carrying out  POLITICIANS' pet projects"  - So why are they getting your blame? Why turn the focus away from the ELECTED politicians? A member of the Army Corps is doing a paid job, just like most other people in the country. The politicians are the ones who decide what the job is.

  Compare your article with Ehren Wataba. He is getting into massive trouble and facing years in jail for REFUSING to do what the politicians tell him.  I don't suppose members of the Army corps would  be jailed for putting their tools down - would they?  But they would surely be putting themselves into the Army of the Unemployed - and I don't imagine their references would help even the most competent to get back into the earning ranks very quickly.

  I can't understand why anybody so clearheaded as the Grist team would protect corrupt politicians.  I am totally confused - I thought you were beyond this blindness.

  Apart from that I love your work.On The Army Corps of Engineers is the real culprit behind New Orleans' devastation posted 3 years, 2 months ago 9 Responses
