As a disinterested observer who served in both the AF and Army I will say the Army has a wildly different native attitude towards fatigue and risk assessment. Not a criticism, just reality.
Blackhawk you seem to be taking offense and I'm not sure why. Reality is if you presented that plan to a room full of folks with an AF flying background, heavy or pointy nose, you'd get a lot of weird looks. Which is why you're getting a lot of comments from folks here questioning the wisdom and/or legality of what you said you did.
I've read a lot of mishap reports, if you were involved in an AF mishap and background turned up the flying/rest schedule you described....that would make up a very large part of the report. Maybe not in the Army, can't say.
