One problem is the gangs on the ground shooting at the helos. Another problem is that they are afraid of what kind of mayhem will result on the ground if they drop a pallet of food and water. They're afraid people will get trampled trying to get 'their share'. I can understand that.
I know it, sis. The situation ain't pretty.
I'm all for them scattering MREs instead a formal drop of supplies on a pallet.
That way, the planes and choppers can stay in motion from a higher elevation and the food won't be attacked by a mob since it's scattered over a larger area.
Maybe I'm just not being realistic. ~sigh~
I'm off to bed. Nighty night everyone.
