The politicians think they can replace infantry with drones and the military knows they must try to replace infantry with drones.

The Air Force has always disliked the A-10 because it is not expensive, cutting edge technology. They dislike having to provide close air support for lowly Army and Marine grunts. $3.5 billion will barely buy 10 F-35s.
