The Bradley was designed by committee too.
The F35 was supposed to, among other things, eliminate the A10 Warthog, a close with support platform loved by the troops.
The Army told the Air Force that if they didn’t want them, that the Army did. The A10 phaseout was shelved. Plenty of great A10 in action against terrorists videos are all over the internet.

I am really happy to hear the Army’s going to be allowed to take on that airframe. Purpose built to protect ground forces and expeditionary units.

Nothing is less worthless than the Air Force. Talk about an armed force in desperate search of an actual mission to fill.

The Marine Corps offered the Air force the same deal.
