He was flying low and his men were taking greater risks, dropping the aid from a much lower height. Though I have to say that I was very concerned that some of the bottles of water and some of the boxes would split open or smash on impact when they hit the rocks below.
The helicopter was in such a hurry, it had so many rounds to make, so many deliveries, it didn’t stop to see to check to see if the people got the aid they needed.
Toward the end of our journey, we landed on a rare space of flat ground and the awful scramble of the refugees to get aboard began. The helicopter only touched down for about five precious minutes. During those five minutes the people who were trapped on the mountain tried to squeeze through the helicopter’s narrow door. They tried to squeeze through the gap between the machine gun that was mounted on the door and the rest of the door. They cried as they piled on top of each other as they were trying to get through this door. It was very disturbing to watch. _______________________________________________________________________
These helicopters are piloted by the Iraqi Army, and they are very desperate to tell the world that they are taking part in this aid mission.

Probably has that same look on his face when Reggie mounts him.
There is absolutely no reason to be so crude. Act like an adult.
it is un-Christian to hate the enabler of evil? In some ways, seems to me, he is even worse than active evil because he could stop it but chooses to standby, indifferently, and watch it happen - probably for purely selfish reasons - like the 2014 election and it’s effect on his power to trash the U.S.
Maybe Putin will do something about this.
Thank you. Sometimes the vitriol gets to be just too much.

I am embarrassed that this country is full of dumbasses who voted for Obama twice. May they rot in hell with Barry:
Amen. You could spend all day going from thread to thread leaving the same msg behind countless times.....and then there are the 99.9% of Freepers who are a mirror-like example of this website and it’s founders character.
“I would say I am thoroughly embarrassed to have this idiot as my President.”
AMEN!
