Toomey's letter that you're responding to? It would be nice to see some of the criticism that you're responding to. I've been unable to find much about land-based helicopter minesweepers and less explaining why it won't work. Do you have a copy of Lieutenant Colonel Charles L.

]]> Comment on Air-Drop Food and Water Packets on Haiti! by gerry cain http://pushback.com/2010/01/air-drop-food-and-water-packets-on-haiti/comment-page-1/#comment-29 gerry cain Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:15:02 +0000 http://www.pushback.com/WordPress/?p=78#comment-29 I am delighted to find you, although I have done so belatedly. I feel that the whole sorry saga of airdrops for Haiti has been a letdown for the poor Haitians. Perhaps, mercifully, their extreme anguish has been relieved satisfactorily by now, by the old-fashioned manual movement of ground supplies. Day-after- long day I was frantic to find someone I could write to or talk to in order to help force action to get SOME sort of airdrop activity going before starvation big-time ravaged Haiti. Where are the pressure points at times like these? All news of it was off behind the back page, so very few cared about this unprecedentedly inhumane, preventable (or at least reducible) second-phase catastrophe. TRIADs would have been ideal. Just imagine those weak and debilitated individuals seeing meals floating down to them. The skies could have been seeded with them, maybe several passes a day until the worst of the hunger was suppressed. What a criminal loss of opportunity! Parachute drops of water & food pallettes seemed a good second-place thing to do. I have only read of two such: on Jan 18 and Jan 21. They packed a great punch, but many more were needed. Are any more known of? Is the most pointed anguish really over now (Feb 2)? It's so hard to tell from the news media. Maybe it really is fading to history now, but I worry. Especially about the next future disaster and whether continued withholding of TRUE aid is to become the norm! Heartsick I am delighted to find you, although I have done so belatedly.
