Golly gee, those Chinook “workhorses and staples of the fleet” are practically NEW!

When one thinks how how many billions, hell, trillions of dollars the Marxists in Washington DC are pissing away on every black hole they can think of, and how this money could be used to actually to accomplish something that would keep the U.S. in existence, it's beyond infuriating.

Yeah, those birds are ancient, and I'd bet that having teams of mechanics who are where they are because of their race, their gender, whatever -- than who actually know how to keep them flying -- it's madness. I see they're blaming it on a part -- maybe, maybe not.

But hey, those techs are all well-schooled in gender dysphoria and "kill whitey" racism studies, tho', so what a few engine fires?
