I really don't understand why people think it's very easy to get supplies in...




Ever heard of the Berlin Airlift in June 1948?

In one day (22 June 1948), the USAFE delivered 156 tons of supplies in 64 sorties.

The USA resupplied an entire city and evacuated residents thousands of miles away, why not here in the USA?

Flights - 189,963
Total Cargo Lifted in Tons - 1,783,573
Food in Tons - 296,319
Coal in Tons - 1,421,119
Supplies in Tons - 66,135
Passengers airlifted out - 37,486

I guess you're right. There must be some sort of conspiracy. There's someone big who just wants those people to die! /sarc.

I posted emails last night from the AF and Army about the amount of supplies that have been taken in already -- media is ignoring what our military has already done and continues to do.
