Lol. How long before the US armed forces are just a bunch of scavenged jalopies being commanded by a lord humongous figure?

I know helicopters can be useful, but in all honesty they are about the most janky looking forms of travel I’ve seen. Learning more about them doesn’t fix anything either because apparently they have what’s known as a “Jesus pin” which if it ever fails will guarantee the helicopter to crash. Why would anyone step inside a helicopter?

There are only a couple good reasons to get in a helicopter and most of them are “Someone will die if we don’t”

Rescuing an injured person in the wilderness, shit like that

Yeah for sure there are some situations where only a helicopter can really get it done, but like damn.
