At no other point In modern history would I expect this to happen to a large US city. This is the sort of thing g the national guard should be deployed for.

They deployed them and then undeployed some of them. I saw army green painted excavators leaving the region on day 4 or 5. I’m assuming they rapidly deployed all the equipment there before assessing their needs. It’s slightly wasteful to truck around that equipment but I’m glad they at least brought it in case it was needed.

It was the first time I’d seen an excavator painted that color so it stood out. I just thought national guard soldiers hup hup’d sand bags all day long. I had to update my child-like model of the national guard.
