What I'm hearing here is that the UK should cancel Typhoons, which are replacing aircraft that have been in combat in Afghanistan, thereby saving no money, and then use that no money to buy helicopters which (even if they could be acquired with no money) would eventually (three-four years from now counting lead time and training) displace US helicopters in theatre.

But it's all about boots on the ground...
