LOL, yeah, in reality you just don't want to spend the money. You have 3000 choppers sitting at base right now doing absolutely jack shit that could be used and transport the help in a matter of hours but don't.
Please explain to us your logistical sequence for relocating those aircraft over 1,150 miles?

Ok, so lets get back to my original questions that you seem to not to understand. They are simple questions.

1. how many times has the MAYOR meet with FEMA.

2. What does the GOVERNOR of PR think of the relief efforts.

Maybe you can explain to us how the number of times the mayor meets with FEMA reps determines the adequacy of the federal response.

Trump dedicates golf tournament trophy to hurricane victims in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico

President Donald Trump says he’s dedicating the Presidents Cup golf trophy to the people of Puerto Rico, Texas and Florida still recovering from recent hurricane devastation.

“On behalf of all of the people of Texas, and all of the people, if you look today and see what is happening, how horrible it is but we have it under really great control. Puerto Rico and the people of Florida who have really suffered over this last short period of time with the hurricanes, I want to just remember them,” Trump said.

“And we’re going to dedicate this trophy to all of those people that went through so much that we love, a part of our great state, really part of our great nation.”

Earlier Sunday, Trump dismissed those he calls “politically motivated ingrates” who’ve questioned his administration’s commitment to rebuilding Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.

The president spent much of the weekend at his New Jersey golf club and then attended the international golf competition near New York City.

Trump presented the trophy to Team U.S.A., the first sitting president to present the tournament’s winning team with a trophy.

The president says the players are “a tremendous group of folks” and calls them “great champions.”

what a deplorable cvnt.
Of course it doesn't even phase his base as they'll stick with him no matter what he does. Organized religion will be kissing his ass the whole time as well. I can't blame anybody who will not listen to anything they have to say as they've already ruined the gospel with their apostate ways.

Stage them (Blackhawks) in Miami, which is just over 1,000 mi. from Puerto Rico. Install external fuel tanks, which give a range of 1,200 miles. Fly them down when safe to do so.....a day afterward.

And since hurricanes aren't exactly a surprise when they hit, preposition/set up emergency refueling area(s) somewhere along the route with a carrier and/or airborne tanker(s).

Not exactly rocket science.

The good Mayor should stop this and dedicate a trophy to the citizens of San Juan, like a good leader would.

We have an amphibious assault ship and a hospital ship on site, both of which can take helicopters. (Although obviously not 3,000 of them.) I have no idea if there is a shortage of helicopters, but I'm sure there are a lot of regions that can only be reached by chopper due to road destruction and obstruction. I wouldn't want to fly a 1,050 mile jaunt with 1,200 miles of fuel, but I'd imagine that a shuttle could be arranged for refueling or emergency landings where necessary. Declare martial law if necessary - I doubt the Puerto Rican politicians would complain at this point if they are getting aid. Maybe not the kind of idea one has on a golf course.

Hopefully Congress can extract its collective head from its collective anus long enough to pass a really robust recovery package for both Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. They're Americans, we're Americans, and we can't let local politics (or hurt feelings from criticism) stand in the way of bringing them back into the 21st century.
