As a Paratrooper Rigger during the Korean war, we dropped many tons of supplies from 5 to 800 feet to stranded troops, many time while being shot at but it didn't stop us.... So what's the problem with doing the same in Haiti? And please don't tell me the Haitian might riot, well its for certain they will (or die) if they don't get some kind of relief ... Come on Mr. (DOD) Gates. Or (SOS) Hillary, make it so.
