Obama to eliminate all USA A-10 Warthog ground support jets.
Wonderful.
The only truly effective USAF jet to support Army ground operations (anti-vehicle/anti-tank/anti-chopper/anti-crew served weapons) and Obama to eliminate them.

Will significantly raise the ground forces injury/death rate...like Obama/Dems in DC could care.

One would think the extreme “Rules of Engagement” the troops are inflicted with, would be enough.

Guess not.

Obama/Dems want to make sure Americans suffer more deaths/injuries.

Obama is the USA as Lenin was to old Russia.

I worked these many moons ago. A flying tank, triple redundant flight control and a titanium bathtub that protected the pilots from AAA.

They are also proposing to cut the U2, worked those also.

The F35 is too fast and can’t carry enough ordinance. I heard the plan is to rely on more helos for ground support.
