You are definitely clueless because your first statement assumes we have a KING not a President and the second statement presupposes that the CG HAD TO GET PERMISSION.....which of course they did NOT NEED as it is their stated MISSION.
"You are definitely clueless "
Uh - well actually ALL THE ARMED FORCES HAD HELOS FROM DAY ONE doing rescue.
They didn't need no stinkin permission - deal with it - the lawyers F'ed up and that is why we have a military man in charge at FEMA.
