Get rid of the A-10? Most every war since WWII has been against a second, or less rate military.

WTF?

Hasn't the Air Force ever heard of cost benefit?

Why send a Ferrari to do a Pickup's job?

About the A-10, take a look at how many bullets the F-35 carries versus the A-10’s. We will miss the A-10.

Why, exactly, do you think we’ve gone up against “second rate armies”?

Because they were second-rate TO US.

You don’t get that way choosing pickups over Ferraris.

Ferraris like the F-16 and F-15.
And now the F-22 and F-35.

The A-10 has its place, but some of you really need to stop fixating on the big gun.
