Yeah and maybe others shouldn't disrespect the American flag and anthem, too.
You think Ken was disrespecting the flag and anthem?
You guys are clueless. Just once I'd like to hear a con say it's not about the symbol itself, but what it stands for.

It could have started sooner, Sailor, former Gen. Honore, a man who was in charge of Katrina said so, I'm sorry, I trust his authority more than yours in this matter, so we will have to agree to disagree.
I did as well Sailor, christiefan didn't do anything different than myself.I have nothing but respect for veterans. You can leave that out of this. I have zero respect for any asshole that whines about something politically when they are doing nothing to help the situation. You are the one that decided to "shut me up" by showing me he is veteran. I say to you on that, go fuck yourself. Like I said, put up or shut up. Being a veteran has nothing, zero, zip to do with this.
If there is one thing Ken does not strike me as, it is a loud mouth or a phony.
Without naming names, there are plenty of dunces on message boards who are engaged in bluster, bellowing, self-congratulations, exaggeration, and self-aggrandizement.
One more point, they have supplies waiting to be distributed, what they need are drivers, bodies to clear roads, the Navy can bring those bodies.Covefe, there are over 3 million people on P.R., their infrastructure is gone, they have limited airfields (now), and limited ports (getting better everyday). They not only need food, water, medical supplies, they need power, fuel etc.
That is an enormous amount of supplies. Millions upon millions of tons of cargo. Vessels of war, including landing craft and helicopters, do not have that kind of capacity. To bring that kind of aid requires ships. Big cargo ships.
Let me give you a quick example. A 20 foot shipping container loaded weighs about 21 tons. A 40' container loaded weighs about 27 tons. The biggest helicopter the military has can lift 14.5 tons give or take. An LCAC landing craft can carry between
50 and 70 short tons. Those are set up for wheeled cargo, not containers. Ships carry hundreds of thousands of tons of cargo.
Be back in a while.

Yes, but he also said he had ships.We will disagree respectfully. Gen. Honore is talking from experience. From a point of a disaster where relief supplies could have been brought in sooner on land. He had resources available.
I did as well Sailor, christiefan didn't do anything different than myself.
I donated money, that is all I can do, you don't know people's circumstances.
I think he's being a veteran gives him the right to bitch about the way government is running things, but that's just me.
He has experience in disaster relief and knows the logistics. I respect Sailors knowledge but he doesn't know what Honore' knows about coordinating relief efforts.Sailor has been on the scene since Irma. I lovvvvvvvvvve Gen. Honore....but he is and was not.
The same to you and I hope you get some rest.Look. The all of you. I respect everyone's opinion. Not everyone can help obviously. Sending money, food, thoughts, prayers etc is more than most could ask for. It shows your humanity and that is all anyone reasonable can ask.
I am tired. Dead tired for days now. I am crabby. And for some reason this thread just set me off. I am not going to apologize for what I said, however I probably could have approached it differently.
You all have a good evening.

I asked you two questions, Christiecrite. Answer.
Sailor has done more than Y O U, Christiecrite, by his own account.
Are you calling him a liar, Christiecrite? Answer.
Don't, it will be a long waitExcuse me but where did I doubt, criticize, comment or question what he did?
I'll wait.

Lol, typical angry con immediately defaulting to vulgarity, how predictable. You are a presumptuous ass if you think you know what anybody has done or contributed to the PR relief effort. That happens a lot with conservatives.
Did anyone say that you doubted, criticized, commented or questioned what he did?
It does, however, appear that Y O U called H I M a "typical angry con" and "presumptuous ass".
Did you forget, Christiecrite?
That might explain a few things, hmmm?
Your avoidance of the questions is noted.
Y O U said "Sailor has done more than Y O U, Christiecrite, by his own account. Are you calling him a liar.[/B]..?" Nothing in my comment suggested I called him anything. Btw, explain how Y O U or anyone else knows what I, Ken or the others contributed to the relief effort.

I know it's tough when I don't obey you in the way you deserve to be obeyed.
