That is certainly worth following up on. It’s hard to believe that the US military would be so incompetent. Unless it was following orders.

The military knows how to drop supplies correctly. If they aren’t it’s because they’re not being allowed to do their jobs.

My guess one or two chutes may not have opened. Stretching the truth probably brings in more drops. There is some video shown on Fox last week from one drop where you can clearly see a line of chutes floating down behind the plane.

"However, Iraqi officials said that much of the US aid had been “useless” because it was dropped from 15,000ft without parachutes and exploded on impact."

Unless our troops were prohibited from doing their jobs properly, I call BS!

I'd like nothing more than that jackass on vacation to look even more useless and feckless, but not at the expense of our troops and their reputation for being professionals.

I don’t find this credible.
The guys who do this don’t screw up.

The AF used to have exploding parachute straps that could be detonated as the cargo starts to drift away from delivery zone. Doubt if they were in position for use however.

My theory...
Michelle reviewed the food manifest on the drops and demanded they be destroyed because they lacked fresh local vegetables.

“because it was dropped from 15,000ft without parachutes and exploded on impact.”

A foolish comment by someone. I think our military knows how to air drop supplies!
