STOP MOCKING ME. YOU'RE HURTING MY FEELINGS.

I'm going to go protest use of the A-10 at the gates of Moody AFB. For too long, A-10 Warthogs have been treating attack helicopters as second-class citizens. No more. I'm done using separate fuel trucks. I'm done being sent in as Operation Human Shield to clear things out for the A-10 squadrons to get all the glory. I'm sick and tired of being told to park at the back of the hangar.

I demand we take down the A-10s on static display at Eglin, Barksdale, the Air Force Academy and anywhere else that they can be seen lording over their attack helicopter counterparts. We demand that these displays be replaced by more progressive aircraft that can be role models for young attack helicopters everywhere, like the AH-1 Cobra and the AH-64D Apache. We demand that reparations be paid for the cancellation of the H-56 Cheyenne and H-66 Comanche programs in favor of elitist fixed-wing options. We demand that the Air Force end its long history of segregation and allow attack helicopters into its fleet to serve alongside A-10s on the battlefield, not be relegated to the Army. We demand vehicular equality, and we demand it now.

Choppa lives matter.
