Further proof that The Pentagon is taking us for a ride, when they claim to need over a billion in tax dollars each year, for drones and fighter jets. There are far more economical ways of exterminating foreign civilians available
US military:
The very idea of this happening is so ridiculous that I almost don’t believe it. It’s like some Looney Toons shit.
Aren’t airdrops parachuted in? I’m not trying to be a dick, but people didn’t have time to move out of the way?
It’s why I have trouble believing this even happened. It’s absurd.
If it’s what I imagine to be massive pallets of equipment, people could wrongly be under the impression that these drops will float down like feathers when in reality they’re like a low-speed automobile collision. So as they approach the ground their speed and drift may catch some off-guard.
Additionally as the article points out, some drops have broken apart or their parachutes do not deploy.
The chutes didn’t open. There’s video. Having a heavy pallet crash through your roof can cause death. We’re talking maybe half the weight of a car, traveling at faster than freeway speed.
And I still struggle to belive that drop found it’s “target”. It’s so stupid.
Even the ones where the chutes deployed have to be still carrying a decent amount of energy given the speed they appeared to be dropping in the video I saw. Given the number of folks running to try to get to them I’m surprised MORE weren’t injured.
I’m struggling to think of something flippant and cutting enough to capture the irony while also doing justice to and being respectful of the dead and wounded.
“Supplies, motherfucker!”
Clonk.
(I am certain this does not in fact meet your second criteria.)
That’s unironically how I feel most of the time about this war.
