Why, they're making you look bad, of course.

No need to get shirty, Paul. This sort of remark is what gets your
feelings bruised when I bat it back at you in return.

No need to get defensive, Fred - it's not the first time you've made
statements that proved to be bold, sweeping and wrong.

"Hint: Helicopters aren't used as interceptors." - unless the contact
is low and slow, like many types of UAV, in which case helicopters *are*
used as interceptors.

What air-to-air weapons do you think a USN SH-60 carries?

For this, the optional door gun should suffice nicely (that's what the
Lynx would be using, after all).
