The fighter mafia has ALWAYS hated the A-10... Move the A-10s to the Army.Marine infantry does not trust anyone but Marine Air for close air support. The A-10 and its pilots are great, but USAF leadership hates CAS and is unreliable. The Army should take the A-10s if the Air Force doesn't want them.

The Army would take the A-10, but it needs to come with the support package (arming, maintenance, refueling, etc), the AF is not going to give up that force structure.
