Cannon Fodder

I can't think of a more useless piece of military equipment than the Y-wing of the Rebel Alliance. I mean, think about it, have you ever seen a Y-wing make it out of a battle? It's like the whipping boy of spaceships in the galaxy far far away. You might as well be a redshirt yeoman on the Starship Enterprise for crying out loud!

Can you imagine it? You've just escaped the dreaded claws of the evil Galactic Empire, you've gone though rebel boot camp and flight school, and then on graduation day they assign you to fly a Y-wing?! Oh, fuck! You're doomed bro! It was nice knowing you. But I will say, they do fall apart spectacularly when nicked by a Tie-fighter blast. At least your death will be spectacular, you got that going for you.

Honestly, I think the Kamikaze pilots from World War II had a better shot at coming home from a raid. We all know you wanted to be in that X-wing, I mean, who doesn't? You would have settled for an A-wing...I see those escape doom from time to time. But, hey, listen, somebody has to fly those things. God speed, and may the force be with you.

Dude! Mine doesn't even have a canopy! We're so boned!
