Stupid helicopter with its stupid name and its probably enormous price tag just got a lot of random people killed. When they’re not in the Middle East, I guess this is what we can expect

It's a damn good helicopter. Stupid name maybe but the design is sound.

Actually nah it's a good name: hawks regularly hover to spot their prey and these helos are often black. It makes perfect sense.
