Well that's why most of us here come from the Donkey doctrine, and have no interest in race horses. I actually spend most of my time killing sacred cows.

One sacred cow is the myth of the bug-basher COIN aircraft. Sorry, but the Lynx was incredibly limited. The UK has Apache, so we should use Apache. IMO, fighting men in sandals is pretty much what the Apache should do. It's the weapon on target, not the platform that got it there.
