I've been real empathetic with all the efforts for the past 7 hrs of sitting here following this and rootin' for the good guys, esp. given that it all kicked off 5 or 6 hrs before that.

BUT

Unless there's something else going on that TPTB have managed to keep *completely* off the air/media, folks are soon gonna start wondering if this is a 3,000+ man CF for one 19yo kid, no matter much training he may/not have had.

Setting aside the fact they've locked down an entire city of what, 50 square miles ?, this is beginning to not inspire much confidence re repelling some actual LARGE threat.
