Here's an idea: send gas masks to Syria instead of bombs.

16. Airdrop. So you are proposing exposing US Air Force personnel to Syrian air defense.

So, lets examine your idea.

Say there is an airdrop. Airdrops have to be done from certain altitudes, too low or too high defeats the effort. Any plane that does airdrop will perform the drop within range of Syrian missiles and Syrian fighter jets. Who will protect the planes that are performing the drop, those planes have no defense capability, they are transport planes?

Assuming protective equipment and food is safely airdropped and no USA military is killed or captured, how can you say for certainty that the intended people get the equipment and food?

Assuming the protective equipment get to the right people, who on the ground allocate the equipment? Who manages the fitting of the equipment? How would we know that we covered every man, woman and child regardless of the face size?
