As of February, only about 100 troops were left in the city.<\/p>\n<p>With Louisiana facing a $341 million budget deficit, state lawmakers were reluctant to keep the Guard in place any longer.<\/p>\n<p>The Guard was used to patrol the less populated sections of the city where Katrina&#8217;s floodwaters left most houses uninhabitable. That included the woeful Ninth Ward, where renovated houses are outnumbered by moldy, boarded-up wrecks and weed-choked vacant lots.<\/p>\n<p>In their camouflage uniforms and Humvees, the troops were often a welcome sight.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now you know how the majority of the Iraqis and Afghans feel. Wherever our troops go, they leave goodwill and a sense of security in their wake. Even in third world countries like New Orleans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apparently, US troops are finally being pulled out of New Orleans and the residents of that &hellip; <a title=\"US troops to pullout; residents worried\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=8305\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">US troops to pullout; residents worried<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-society","category-support-the-troops"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8305"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8305\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
