The Army is doing a huge aviation reorganization. One of the things they are doing is getting rid of Kiowas. They are going to try to do the scout role with Apaches instead. Yeah, I know that is two totally different classes of helicopters, but that is their story. Sounds like they want to park all their TH-57s and replace them with Lakotas, as well. That is another head scratcher when it comes to saving money.

In addition, why is Obama bringing all the tanks from Germany home? They are giving tanks to very small towns who have no need of them, seems ridiculous.

You're correct about the Kiowas. When I was at Air Assault School recently they told us of their plans to phase them out. They are good for recon and target painting, but they can't carry sh-t for armament. They're only defensive.
