28. There is NOTHING the Nat'l Guard can do, except

be ready for rescue work as soon as it is safe to come out.

Sorry, but that is a harsh reality of the situation.

Yes, I have had a lot of experiences in my life, and have learned some hard lessons from them. There are many things in life that I have not experienced and I keep quite on threads on those topics as I would have nothing to contribute.

If someone is drowning, and you can't swim, it may be heroic, but it would also be futile and stupid for you to jump in the water to save them. The result would be two dead people. Instead you run and grab a rope to throw, or a flotation device, but you keep yourself alive to be able to do something. If there are none of those available, then what good do you accomplish by drowning also?
