Jesus Christ, bud. When you're talking about a place in California, you're talking about the exact location of that place in California, not just anywhere in California. I can't believe I have to explain this to you. If I say "Hey, check out the Hollywood sign - it's in California!" and someone flies to San Jose to see it, they're an idiot. If I'm in LA and I tell someone "Hey, come visit me in California!" they fly to LA. They don't fly to some random place in California and get confused as to why I'm not also in that exact location.

People who can get to the location of a movement in an hour are only helpful to that movement in an hour when they get there. People who can be there in a week are only helpful in a week when they get there. People who are down the street from where the fighting is taking place are only helpful when they walk up the street and GET THERE. Only the people who are actually currently in range of the people we're shooting at are going to be able to join the firefight.
