Video: US Navy pilots surprise Japanese with food and water
Video: US Navy pilots surprise Japanese with food and water
Watch this video news report from a Japanese TV station. It’s a story about US Navy personnel flying supplies to Sendai, Japan. Even though very little of it is in English, I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t bring a tear to your eye as it did mine. 27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000 width=425 height=344> You’ll see an older Japanese man a little ways into the clip, speaking to the camera. What he says is, essentially, that the townspeople had no idea the Americans were coming or bringing them anything. There was no announcement or anything about it. Which is true. Between the destroyed roads and the radiation fears, hardly anyone can even get to the Sendai area. But these US pilots did. You’ll also see, near the end of the clip, a group of older men watching as the Navy man stacks boxes of supplies from the helicopter on the tarmac. They’re standing still watching him because they’re stunned. That plus the language barrier puts them in a position where they just don’t know what to do. But you can see one of them making little gestures with his hands, as if in prayer. That’s a sign of very deep respect and gratitude. http://pajamasmedia.com/tatler/2011/...ood-and-water/

So why isn't this story being shown on the major US networks? I guess humanitarian efforts aren't as exciting as scandalous stories about our troops.
Don Henley was right in his lyrics for "Dirty Laundry". Give the US press a good juicy scandal any day. Who cares if the US military is doing a whole lot of good somewhere, right?
