#1 Also notice the joint, joint, joint operations. Will the Air Force reconsider putting the A-10 in Davis-Monthan before there is a replacement?

#2 Kinda hard to set up fortifications that can't be seen by a spy drone, huh guys?

#3 Hell, these fools are so far behind the military curve they still think in 2 dimensions.

I would like to see A-10's added to the mix in the Sunni Triangle opns. Their low 'n slow capability added to the fact that they can take the ground fire make them ideal. Who says they're only tank killers? Like bullet-proof Sandies, heh. Man I loved those guys! The AF brass can be such short-sighted and self-defeating weenies. Old AF hands like OP and others here could flesh this out...

Because since they're human, they like pretty. The A-10 was not pretty; it's effective, deadly, and durable. I'll pick those three over pretty any day.
