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.
How come?
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?
