#1 Lovely indeed. Yes, yes, yes USAF.... thank you so very much for your taxpayer-funded public announcement. I'm sure our "friends" (formerly referred to as Hostile Intelligence Sources or HOIS) were very eager for this news and OB update.

#2 This included more than 18,000 pounds of troop resupply airdropped in eastern Afghanistan.

From the reports this looks like an everyday thing. Getting a lotta practice. How much was a big airdrop in Vietnam?
