Army to name new attack helicopter after Elizabeth Warren

FORT RUCKER, Ala. — The U.S. Army will honor Elizabeth Warren and her Native American ancestry with the latest addition to its helicopter fleet, the AH-68 Warren, sources confirmed today.
The Warren will join the Black Hawk, Kiowa, Apache, and Lakota in the Army’s impressive legacy of combat aircraft named after Native American tribes.
The Warren conquered its two chief competitors, the AH-67 Redskin and V-23 Columbus, to win the Army contract.
“The Redskin just offended too many white people, and frankly, I’m not even sure Redskin is a real tribe,” said Army Acquisition Corps Spokesman Maj. Darren Snyder. “And the Columbus, well that death trap killed people every time it landed.”
Snyder dismissed concerns regarding Warren’s Native American ancestry.
“Do you really think Harvard hired her just to brag about having a Native American law professor?” he asked.
Unlike Warren’s heritage, there are no questions about the AH-68 Warren’s cost efficiency. The Warren will utilize a collectivized fuel economy, despite the system’s legacy of abject failure. Department of National Acquisitions reports show the entire Warren project totaled only 1/1024th of the cost of the Air Force’s F-35 Lightning program.
Not everyone shares the Army’s optimism about the Warren. College students across the nation accused the Army of cultural appropriation.

What’s happened to our armed forces?
WUT?!!!!!! satire right?
Ha ha this will fool some.
Should have named it Lying Beaver.
What about the “Harpie”?
It will cost 320k (or whatever she got to teach) to use each time and only as a trainer.
What was that commercial that had Warren’s grandfather crying on the side of the road?
Yeah, and it only does left pedal turns.
Hey...look at this...:)

I regularly see a single copter from Ft. Rucker. I have no idea what it is but it resembles a giant mosquito.
The thing which always gets my attention is how loud it is. It will be really high up yet sounds like it is just over head.
Prefer the AJAX myself LMAO!
It’s the new stealth model with only a left wing.
It’s satire. What a relief.
They’re having some trouble with the weapons suite. Apparently it only hits the pilot in the foot.
I love the smell of Pemmican in the morning . .
thanks for posting this. :D
didn’t know about their website until now.
