They could give the A-10's to the Marines...Grunts really don't trust anybody other than
fellow Marines giving them air support. I know that was the feeling when I served.

Marine tactical aircraft have to be carrier capable. Technically, a C-130 is carrier capable. Not practical but it’s been done.

The Hog, despite its robust design, is not.

The Marines Corps budget can’t support the A-10. The Corps often operates in sub-squadron detachments and from ships. The A-10 wasn’t conceived for that.
