All this thing does is kick ass and take names and the Air Force still hates it. Let the Marines and Army take them.

The Marines want no part of the A-10.

Every 11B I talked to who’d had received support from the A-10 loved it.
Maybe it’s the sort of sensibility you get when you have experience.

The Marines want no part of the A-10. ...................... Its an ARMY thing, they need it because of sustained operations against armored vehicles and to counter artillery. A 10s can respond to the scene quicker than track vehicles and helicopters and with a more powerful and quick punch. They are great close air support with a mixed package. They were built by Republic Aviation, are they still in business?
