"Pitiful? No, an air-drop mission like that would be murderous, criminal."

Memory failing, but I seem to vaguely remember some kind of minor flap during the Afghanistan War, about "Bombing Civilians with MRE's"

Also (really digging, now -- this may be hallucination.) something about people getting clobbered by airdropped frozen chickens, maybe in Kosovo, or maybe in some other disaster area around that time.

Ya can't win, no matter what ya do..

(Please excuse the semi-senile rambling) ;)

"this may be hallucination"

If it didn't really happen, I'd love to hear what was going on in your life to have you hallucinating about people getting clobbered by airdropped frozen chickens. ;-)

Yeah, those who ordered and executed that mission were hung up to dry.
