That was uncalled for and you owe her an apology.

You got it backwards. This person does not know my background and called me an armchair quarterback.
This person said that this option was considered and deemed too dangerous.
This is a false, as it is being done as we speak.
Supplies are being airdropped by HELICOPTER, not transport airplane.
The miltiary has already been on TV and explained why they're STILL not airdropping supplies to NO from C-130s.
Until they can get a LONG WIDE SWATH of dry land to drop on, they can't do it without dropping pallets everywhere, some of which will land on *people*.
See old refs to "bombing and killing people in Afghanistan with supplies".
Now, STFU.
