Fellers....a very nice Boeing 747 flew into Baghdad over Christmas...and all sorts of aircraft are operating into Iraq with the Stars and Bars on them....your piddily little fleet of aircraft are not going to make that big a difference in the tactics used by the Oppo's. With all the cuts in yer budget...the argument should really be along the lines of if you will have an air force at all. You have got warehouses full of Apaches but have only begun lately to train crews...the management of your forces needs some improvement and that would be more an issue than which mark of Herc goes where.
