…Why is Franklin using a Russian RPG from a Huey when he should be sitting in a cushy Langley office controlling the drone launching Hellfire missiles at passing recreational sailors?
Why is Franklin using the cabin of the helo as a backblast area?
He yelled “backblast clear”, so they should be good.
Edit: Your hearing loss is not service related.
“Clear Backblast!”
everyone jumps out of the huey
Including the pilot, and Franklin goes down with the chopper like he deserves
Because it’s slop.
There’s also a muzzle flash, which isn’t how an RPG works.
Someone should submit all these comments as ‘community notes’.
That would actually be a genius move. Make a post about all the dangers of using an RPG in this way, as well as the technical inaccuracy of the muzzle flash.
Ah, I know this one: Because he’s an idiot.
At least he got the orientation right. I’ve personally seen several Russian soldiers who didn’t.
Personally? The only way…gasp! J’accuse!
Those offices are not cushy. The fan never works properly. The AC makes it so it has 10000 ft of temperature difference in 10 feet. And can someone bring me another frappachino?
“This chair isn’t upholstered in real leather! I demand a refund!”
“We… pay you to be here.”
“Good point! I demand a raise!”
When did Franklin grow to Gamera-esque proportions?
We don’t body shame here
Turtles are held to such ridiculous standards.
Sitting at a desk all day, starting at screens, can become so banal. Variety is the spice of life, no? If you aren’t using black-market RPGs to blast vaguely identified boats from the open side of a Vietnam-era helicopter then are you even living?
AI cannot figure out perspective
Or it can, and it’s just a colossal turtle
Actually a very unlikely picture as Franklin is a Canadian children story series. Multiple books have circulated for decades. So unlikely that a Canadian character would be performing murders on behalf of the fascist regime headquartered in Peter Teels mansion.
Well…

“Lower than most” isn’t “none” after all.
I hope the authors sue the fuck out of them.
Funny coincidence:
Franklin’s theme song is by a French Canadian artist named Bruce Cockburn (…pronounced co-burn) who also has a wonderful song called “If I had a Rocket Launcher”
I’m going to focus my nitpick to:
Clear Backblast?
… everyone in that huey now has a concussion, at best.
The pilots are wearing helmets and hearing protection, plus the windows are down.
Cool!
Doesn’t matter, not with the rear of the rpg being angled more or less directly at the roof.
If it was being held horizontally?
Yeah maybe different story.

Probably has to set foot in a public American school
