Unfortunately, our war fighters are forced to wait while Beech plays a game of catch up. There was a unit ready to deploy last year in the Super T until the Kansas congressional contingent put a stop to it.
As far as congress screwing up a perfectly good weapon system for political reasons, go back to Sec. Stanton, under Lincoln. Or before. Sigh...
I just want our guys on the ground to have good support. I hate that the AF hates the A-10, and that is part of the reason I think (most of the time) that the USAF should be the USAAF again. I despise the fighter mafia.
They could screw up a wet... anyway.... politicians are rarely correct.

“War Fighters”?
What yuppie, never been in combat before idiot, made up that term?
What was wrong with servicemen or just GIs?
