Maybe a few air wings in state guards can take them over since the guard lost all their Apache helicopters. Combined guard forces. You know collaboration like the real world.

Well, the SecAF maintains the standards of the Brandon Administration…dumb as a post and anti-American as hell.

Unless they are willing to do one-way suicide missions, they will be on the side that supports them with ammo, fuel and parts...the side that has “F-15s and nukes”

“Command has been hating on the A-10 since it was in development. And yet there it is. Still flying. Still winning.”

They hated it since it was first deployed in the mid 70’s.
