- Hurricane evacuees don't see FEMA or Red Cross, but military
recruiters show up in force. According to a number of sources familiar
with the Gulf Coast evacuation situation arising from Hurricane Katrina,
military recruiters appeared at hurricane evacuation centers across Louisiana,
Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, and other states long before evacuees ever
saw anyone from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or the Red
Cross.

- Military recruiters, aware that a number of young, poor,
and long-term or hurricane-related unemployed and homeless African American
and white men were housed at evacuation shelters, took advantage of the
disaster to recruit additional cannon fodder for Bush's war in Iraq.
