“but our own A10 and Javelin can kill them pretty quickly”
Do you mean the A-10 the Air Force just killed?

Yep. It’s a beast in a tank war.
They make a terrible mistake ending the A-10. I hear the Army wants it. They’ll be ignored, because to give it to the Army upsets their dumb compromise giving every service EXCEPT the Army, the guys dying on the ground, its own air force.

I think the A-10 has gotten a reprieve for a year. I know it’s not much but we are working on keeping it in use and not on the scrap heap.

We got rid of 'em all, just like we got ride of all of the B-1s and nukes. No F-22s, and the F-35s are all junk. And the ABM defense systems don't work! We're defenseless!
[Load of irony and humor there.]
Politicians, have our U.S. forces nuke Eyeran, and give credit for the deed to Italy.
