I’ve heard from a source who is a pilot in the army that they are getting slashed on their budget and have not been doing routine PMs and maintenance.
Not saying this is the case, but that’s what’s behind a lot of army choppers malfunctioning lately
Nah man, I read the Army’s report. It’s not the lack of funding, being under manned, the extreme pace of flight ops, or lack of maintenance.
It’s the bad judgement of the junior NCO ranks, in particular the E-5s and 6s making bad decisions to fly.
That is literally in the Army’s report, it pissed me off like nothing else.

I haven't read the report and don't intend to, but how is this being blamed on enlisted folks? Are they alleging E5/E6s are signing off on maintenance records when they shouldn't be?

This sounds like the military equivalent of Steve Jobs telling iPhone users with bad reception “ You’re holding it wrong”.
