I would just like to post this articles/link here and share my opinion. IT IS BULL-CRAP. ;D What I mean to say is that this seems a very unrealistic proposition by the Army and I can not see them doing this to the extent that they say they might. We already have a bunch of programs on record that may enter service in the next few years and that existing airframes like the Chinook, Apache, Blackhawk...etc are probably going to remain in service for another 30-40 years, I just do not see the army getting rid of manned capabilities that quickly.
Also after reading Ralph Peters book "the war after Armageddon" I feel we may be heaping too much praise on electronic wizardly and super high-tech....so to speak. Just my opinion...
