Why Is The U.S. Air Force Apologizing For A #BRRRT Tweet About The A-10?


Business Insider: Air Force apologizes for tweet comparing A-10 strikes to viral 'Yanny vs. Laurel' clip, saying it was in 'poor taste'

The US Air Force has apologized for a tweet referencing the ongoing social media debate over the Yanny vs. Laurel viral sound clip.
The tweet said the Taliban in Farah, Afghanistan would have much rather heard "Yanny" or "Laurel" than the "defeating BRRRT" of the A-10 Warthogs sent this week to repel the insurgents.
Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White on Thursday told reporters she hadn't seen the tweet but said it shouldn't be forgotten that Afghans are "dying to secure their own future."
