By the way ...

I know there is another thread running in respect of our current Herc J Force ops into Sinjar ... But I understand that the yellow containers in the pic I posted at #1093 are in fact Drinking Water Containers. Apparently designed to withstand drop impacts and once the contents have been consumed ... the receptacle can then be used to filter further water for drinking. Now that seems more practical than dropping standard PET bottles ... even if more expensive
