More guardsmen would have equated more help, which would have equated less devastation caused by such chaos. No one in their right mind is arguing that the lack of guardsmen resulted in more devastation from the hurricane itself, certainly not Cindy. That's absurd.

That seems self evident to me.
I'm watching the news right now, and the leaders of the state are talking about the slow response, and the lack of national guardsmen. It seem ludicrous to say "well, but people being gone at the war didn't cause Katrina" - of course it didn't - it's just contributing heavily to the amount of chaos and carnage, for the reasons Diss just said.
More people to help = more help. pretty simple.
