42. This is what I'm talking about
Every minute counts when you're in a situation like this, but either people don't seem to recognize this, or they don't seem to care. * gets up and talks about what is going on and how long a process it is, but the food, water, and essentials supposedly being sent are days late! People like us can donate and offer ourselves up to help with the aftermath, but we have no control over the situation that occurs in the first few days. The people who do have that control - mainly the president - did nothing at the time. THAT is what sickens me.

It's been mentioned before - we evacuated seven thousand some people from Saigon in 19 hours, 30 years ago, yet this situation is utterly helpless?
