Secret Military Tests of Flying People

I have come to the conclusion that the United States' armed forces are testing flying suits. I suspect this because it is the most likely explanation for the inappropriate use of the phrase "on the ground" in news coverage.

The aid workers on the ground....

Well, where else would they be? In the air?

Reporters are not, generally speaking, idiots. The military must prohibit discussion of flying servicemen, but the reporters still find it necessary to distinguish between flying personnel and those on the gound.

Of course, until we have conclusive proof, it's highly likely that they're all a bunch of morons.
