Although I would like to see that our taxes are being spent on more of development and to proceed with it and not to cancel it. Oy' Vey...

The helicopter problem they had in Iraq during the start of the last Gulf war was that they flew too many missions in broad daylight, where the enemy could see them and give advanced warning. Chances of being hit by small arms fire is much lower at night, thus thats when they need to be flying their missions.
