I’ve said this at least 20 times, so here I go again: the air force has never liked the A-10. The ground attack role isn’t “sexy” enough for the wing wipers. Give them to marine aviation.

In desert storm ... I’ll say no more but the a 10 is mythical. In my view.
Invaluable besides
I recall a girlfriend seeing one at a Ft Lauderdale air show and telling me about the goosebumps she got seeing and hearing an A10 flying overhead.
On the same page. Give it to the Marines.
Might as well give them to the Army, too.
You have that right. The fighter jock AF never liked the A-10. It was too slow and went too low. They would actually have to get down into hot engagements in the dirt.
Well enough. They can concentrate on air to air and leave the real work to the A-10 supporting our troops.
