Yup, these are some ethics to have in the context of a relief effort:

Lt. Gen. Steven Blum of the National Guard said 7,000 National Guardsmen arriving in Louisiana on Friday would be dedicated to restoring order in New Orleans. He said half of them had just returned from assignments overseas and are "highly proficient in the use of lethal force." He pledged to "put down" the violence "in a quick and efficient manner."

Mismanage the fuck out of a relief effort, then when people overreact, shoot 'em first and ask questions later.
