Name the military service that flies helos in the filthiest weather on a consistent basis.

It ain't the Army, Navy or Marine Corps.  Its the US Coast Guard. If combat is coming in the Pacific and if distributed operations are gonna be the way to go, with the added drama of having to evacuate people that are injured or in the water in all kinds of weather than making flying in bad weather is gonna part of the process.

Risk is easily assumed when it comes to our own gear and how much we have.  Risk is assumed in these new battle plans.

Not being able to evacuate personnel or save people in the water in bad weather is something that should not be risked. To keep the faith it needs to be worked on in peace instead of ad hoc solutions during war.
