  1. If he was in charge of NASA would he blame the astronauts for failing to reach the moon when he did not provide them with a rocket ship?
  2. If he was in charge of a restaurant would be blame the cooks for failing to prepare a meal when he did not give them the ingredients?

  5. If he was in charge of our militarty would he blame our soldiers for failing to put up a fight against a well armed enemy when he provides them neither weapons, training, and ammunition?

FDNY did not provide the firefighters at Engine 10 with training about how to inspect a toxic building.

FDNY did not provide  the firefighters at Engine 10 with a written plan about how to inspect a toxic building.
