Only "speed freaks" don't appreciate the sheer amount of whoop-ass that the Warthog can deliver.
Much-maligned by military hating liberals.
I have a friend who flew one and was stationed at the Fulda Gap. He said that should there ever be an attack he was told to expect a 75 to 85% causality Rate.
But... the depleted Uranium 50 caliber bullets were awesome. I think the sacrificial “low and slow” nature of the weapon bothered people.

Yah, for sure. The military has been trying to phase it out since Vietnam. But, every time we deploy to some hotspot they drag out the warthog. There’s nothing better in our inventory to replace it. The military should put out a bid for a new generation Warthog and in the meantime refurbish/update the current inventory and stop trying to improve on perfection....
