Considering the distress in Gaza, I think it should’ve been a bit faster. There’s definitely capability for that, especially from someone like the US military.
If this was some completely different sort of situation and US lives were in that sort of danger, I think it would’ve gone up a bit quicker.
A month isn’t unreasonably long, but I believe it could’ve been achieved much faster in dire need, and I think there is very dire need indeed.
Like if the people making the floating pier were under the same amount of motivation as the people who made the Dunkirk evacuation possible (which means pretty much everyone involved, can’t credit a single party for something like that), I think there would already be a pier.
I’m not blaming the US for “taking too long”, I’m just saying I personally believe (and have lots of that belief based on at least some facts) that it could’ve been done faster.
