Video: Platoon Of Guard Troops Nearly Drown In Flood Waters

Due to the rising flood waters brought on by Irene over the weekend, the levee in Manville, NJ, broke.  The water level Sunday afternoon eventually got as high as 7 or 8 feet.  It was so high, that two National Guard trucks, specially equipped to drive in such conditions, stalled and floated down the city streets.

The best part of the video...some of the soldiers couldn't swim.  Why would you send people that can't swim into a flooded city?



Your tax dollars at work, people.
