#1 What bothers me about the first attack is: aviation attacks on armor were played over and over in Europe. The mass assault was, to my recollection, never designed this way. Why would you move your copters as if they were armor? They're calvary; dart, duck, hide and seek weapons platforms.

I call this as much a misuse of the platform as a surprise by the iraqis.
