Infantry worship the A-10 as a god. It is the best close air support aircraft ever invented.
As a result of the Sequester, Air Force brass is trying to kill the A-10 to free up money for the F-35. That will result in battlefield deaths of grunts.

My son was a grunt on the ground for 2 tours of Iraq, as a combat medic. He and his unit loved the A-10 and Specter. If things went to hell on the ground, they were there to help.
