Do you think the Army is wrong for their plan to shred over 360 OH-58 Kiowas when the Special Forces just bought back the OV-10 Bronco?

This recon helicopter has Forward Looking Infrared Radar and some HD daytime optics to see the enemy day or night. We can keep these Kiowas in storage for use later or keep them flying and give them to our allies. If we brought back two old OV-10 Bronco from the Vietnam era, why can't we just keep the Kiowas for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) or give them to our allies or local law enforcement?

Far be it for me to criticize or question Big Army. I think that the Army tends to have too many Good Idea Fairies running amok with no control exercised upon them.

Who are we to question the judgement of our "betters"? Perched in the aeries, don't they have a grander view of the whole issue and are thus better able to make these decisions? Surely, their ability to prevail in the political fray which took them to those seats of power, grants them wisdom, doesn't it? As to specific examples of poor decisions, I have no particular value to add to this discussion, only doubt and snark bred of decades of watching waste and mismanagement.
