Actually, after getting a one-on-one debrief yesterday from a returning A-model pilot, attached to 11th REG during the last two months, and from other methods and sources, I would assure you that Hack is actually a bit more optimistic than I am on what the fallout will be.I assume you mean that the Apache will "deemphasized". If so, can you give a little more detail? Do the actual pilots think that there's a problem (either tactics or mechanical/design) or are they just worried that Anaconda/Karbala will be blown out of proportion by the media?
Not a problem with either in the general, just in the specific (some units are way out front with this and some are not).
