So, the troops he encountered were part of the "relief" effort. Seems to me that the relief effort should be taking place in the areas of the city that are flooded, not the areas that remained dry. Plus, by now, it should be a well known fact that they are there. Troops should not have been busting in to check them out when they could have asked any cop in the area, or any city official, or just about anybody that has paying attention to the situation.
If the troops went in, in reality, to check what was going on, that indicates that there is still an extremely serious communication problem among the "rescuers" that needs to be addressed.
Buff and the boys (and girl) have every right to keep their company running as long as they need to while the owners make arrangements for a new datacenter.
As far as the "mandatory" evacuation goes, the powers that be should be paying attention to the folks that are still out there surrounded by water, not the few businesses that actually listened to the Mayor and state officials back in July.

I think Buff nailed it on the head when he said they were bored.
