"'Not enough troops, equipment in Puerto Rico, says general in charge of relief"
"The Defense Department has not sent enough troops and vehicles to hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico but will soon send more, according to the three-star general newly in charge of coordinating the military response"
"For example, on the military side, we're bringing in both Air Force, Navy and Army medical capabilities in addition to aircraft, more helicopters. ... [But] it's not enough, and we're bringing more in.”
"The Pentagon has already allocated more than 4,000 troops to help in rescue and restoration efforts to the U.S. territories, but it wasn’t until Thursday, eight days after Maria slammed the Caribbean, that U.S. Northern Command sent Buchanan."
"Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said Friday on CNN that Trump should put the U.S. military in charge of handling and delivering aid to Puerto Rico. He asserted that only the Pentagon could repair the logistical issues preventing aid from reaching island residents."

Now perhaps if the Commander in Chief had have spent more time on Puerto Rico than he did his fabricated NFL issue and golfing they might have discovered the need days ago, it's eleven days out now, Senator Rubio did, but I forgot, conservatives have been telling us the President had his staff on top of it so he didn't have to get directly involved.
And lets not forget, as we've seen regurgitated here as a defense, the Governor of Puerto Rico says everything was running smoothly, "a good news story"
