I liked the comanche. I thought it was great. But what we need instead are helicopters which are tougher than the Apaches.

Commanche was designed to lead the way as we counterattacked the Soviets through the Fulda Gap. Any enemy we fight now will have their air defenses degraded before the armor and helicopters come in. Enemy radar avoidance is not a helicopter problem anymore.
