Most military craft are older than you would think. Did you know F-16s are from the mid 70s? The first of them were deployed months before the Vietnam picture was taken.

Most military equipment is fucking old. For example the main HMG the military uses, the M2. .50 cal machine gun, has been in use since ww2.

“Fixing it” would involve billions of dollars in weapons contractor spending so honestly I don’t know why they’re using anything more than a decade old at this point

It’s not a “omg old” thing, it’s a “i thought that particular model of helicopter was a bit newer” thing

The classic Vietnam footage was US soldiers stampeding down the ramp of the Jolly Green Giant.
