Gov. Bobby Jindal asked federal authorities tonight to grant funding for Louisiana National Guard members joining the multi-agency response to the offshore oil spill.
In letters sent late today to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Jindal requested support for up to 6,000 soldiers and airmen for at least 90 days under Title 32 of the U.S. Code, which would allow the Guardsmen to receive military retirement points, health insurance and disability protection.
Piyush Jindal is OBVIOUSLY a Socialist!
That's a very poor attempt at hyperbole. Requesting Federal help on this issue is not remotely socialist, but you already knew that. As a matter of fact, the Feds getting involved, in my opinion, is well within the parameters of their Constitutional limitations as they are charged with the primary defense of the nation and that the problem will span several states.
