So what if the Air Force doesn’t want the A-10? I am sure the Army / Marines would be happy to move them to their side of the Defense Dept. For the price of one F-35 the Army can build multiple A-10s and be happy to do so. The A-10 is far better suited to surface-level support than the Air Force’s hundred-million dollar unit.

As I understand it's been talked about many times and the AF is willing, the issue is that Army/Marines want the maintenance and support to come with A-10 but the AF won't give that up.
