Yesterday I spent an hour in front of a video camera. It is being made to send to police and fire departments across the U.S. on terrorism.
Our first responders are on the front lines here, but they are also the "tail of the dog" since they have to deal with issues that arise because of something going in somewhere else in the world.
In other words, they have to clean up stuff that they don't create. Our own leadership may jab a stick in a global hornet's nest or miss the problem entirely -- and it will fall to First Responders to deal with the consequences if it results in a 9 11 or Tim McVeigh.
I can't cover an hour of video here, but you can review some ideas at the Texas Viking blog and the Congress website links.
