The problem is that the armed forces are being cut back and the USAF has no love of the A-10, which does not support their primary charter, but the Army’s.

Then I guess, they don’t much care for the AC-130 gunships either. Not fast, not sexy and ugly. But sure does put a world of hurt on bad guys harassing our guys.

If supporting the effort on the ground isn't part of the AF's "primary charter" then who needs the current Air Force? Let's go back to the USAAF.

the solution: Give all responsibility and resources (CASH) to the
Army..and tell the (USAF, Anti A-10) Zoomies, to go to HELL.
