But it kind of looks like he is accusing the National Guardsman of stealing his beer and he's telling on him.

Sorry, I just could not resist.

5. No, he was directing them to load up critically ill people into a plane
he chartered to take them to hospitals in Tennessee. He spent a couple days being jerked around by FEMA before he got clearance to land the flight.
