Your military trucks are not like the average civillian vehicle.  They 
can pass through water situations that civilian vehicles can not.  If 
you ask why can not the military bring them, perhaps they had better 
things to do with the assests they had.

No, I am not waiting for the perfect plan.  They already had a good plan 
in place, they just did not follow it.  Why did civilian equipment go 
out?  Probably a multitude of reasons.  But most stem from the fact that 
they were not prepared.  It also has to do with key points in the system 
were not adequately protected.

Remeber that hey had thousands of buses but faile to use them.  If they 
had they could have gotten more people out and condition in those 
shelter would not have been so bad.
