Give the A-10s to Army. I say that as a former zoomie.

Hell, roll the USAF back into the Army Air Corps and be done with it. Kick out all the nancy-boy AF generals and put some real leadership back in there.

I flew on the EC-130H 20+ years ago, and we were stationed with the A-10s at Davis-Monthan. There's nothing I'd rather have in a close-support mission than A-10s raining Hell down on the enemy, and the EC-130H taking their comms & radar away. But I may be biased. Oh, and we could throw in an AC-130 just to be sure.

“Hell, roll the USAF back into the Army Air Corps and be done with it. Kick out all the nancy-boy AF generals and put some real leadership back in there.”

The Army disagrees with your abusive comments:

“Army Chief of Staff Ray Odierno told Congress that while the Army did not recommend retiring the A-10, he understood the Air Force’s budget decision, and that both services would work together to develop better CAS tactics for the F-16....”
