Comments by "Colonel K" (@Paladin1873) on "The 1788 Great Fire of New Orleans" video.

I know from firsthand experience during the Katrina disaster that the leadership of the city in 2005 paled in comparison to that exhibited in 1788. Thanks for reminding us of this nearly forgotten history.

@Bobby007D If you read my comments correctly you will see I was referring to the Katrina disaster, which I did have firsthand experience in dealing with because I was on the command and control staff at the Pentagon that coordinated the relief effort from start to finish. I was comparing our national and local response efforts during Katrina with those the History Guy described in his video.

@Bobby007D Use critical thinking skills. Notice I prefaced my comment by mentioning my experience during Katrina in 2005. I never said or implied I was present in 1788. You have stretched reasoning beyond credulity.

@Bobby007D Was Katrina 1000 times worse than the 1788 fire? How did you arrive at this assumption? In either case, my comment was not about the scale of each disaster, but the manner in which leadership handled them. My conclusion is based upon my personal experience with the handling of one disaster and the History Guy's assessment of another earlier disaster. You have chosen to inject the false argument that I was making a purely objective comparison.
