General Mundt Says Replacement Helicopters Just Now Showing Up

  Brig. Gen. Stephen D. Mundt, the director of Army aviation, told reporters that the United States Army has lost 130 helicopters in Afghanistan and Iraq and is just now starting to see replacements coming in for those lost.

   Mundt also said the the problem is not about money as much as it is about the industrial capacity to build the helicopters. from the time that the copters are ordered it takes two years.  Source

    I would assume then that no body living in the White House or elsewhere thought that maybe some of the helicopters might be shot down or come down by other means?
