A small but infuriating story from the Katrina rescue effort.
They didn't miss any scheduled missions and even managed to get
home before dark. So what did their CO, one Commander Michael Holdener, do?
Did he put them in for medals? Nope. He said "nice job" and then "counseled"
them for not coming straight home after dropping off their supplies like
good little boys.


I heard that they had reported in to some local contact, being
out of radio range of their home base. Would a local commander have
authority to deploy them for an emergency sortie ?
