Some MORON on Scarborough/MSNBC... |
|
....just commented on how helicopters had to cease operations at sunset.ANOTHER Big Lie people! I was on choppers in ancient days(1972) and even then your basic Huey could do night VFR.Most modern helicopters are night IFR/night vision equipped-Think about it military/lifestar/coastguard operations are ALL continued though all weather and visibility conditions.EVEN an old Huey could land all night long using an lz perimeter guard and a guide with a flashlight.And let's not even get into it how impossible it is to operate trucks and busses at night!!! I won't even go into how many times we've been told US combat troops "Own The Night"....now a smattering of armed whackos can deny a US city to our mighty military??? I don't know what these excuses mean but I no the difference between horsesense and horseshit...and I ain't likin' the smell here...

2. Helicopters have to stop at night? |

Did they run out of light bulbs? Give me a break!
They must really think we're all so stupid.

5. Huh? What about the police helicopters that circle at night everywhere? |
|
There was one flying over a nearby neighborhood searching for an escaped suspect recently here in Phoenix. WTF is he talking about?

6. didn't chimp say yesterday they'd do rescue with night vision or |
|
some words to that effect? I remember because he seems to get giddy using military parlance, like when he said they'll get the rescue ships there, it just takes time 'to float 'em.'

8. Of course you make an excellent point |
|
If I had to guess at what is going on, I think they don't have enough Guardsmen for the three state disaster area. They are not all there yet. They had to reactivate some units didn't they? Hell I don't know, I just have to think it is incompetence at this point. They are getting hammered by the media like I have never seen.
