Fair one, but I would make the point that a fully tooled up AH in Afghan was heavy....very heavy, therefore bringing it to a halt would have been a challenge in even the very best of circumstances. The ground before them was down to a good operational decision and pure luck. Some of those wadis would have utterly decimated that cab, no matter how good the flyer!
