Even a lot of military folks despise the A-10 because “it’s old”.

Really, does it matter how old the design is if it’s the best design for the particular purpose?

Do hammers need re-designed?

"...good news for the local economy but bad news for ISIS..."

As if if our superior firepower has anything to do with it. We could have a million A-10s, but they are worthless with out a CINC willing to use them!

It’s not Obama so much as it is the Air Force generals who have long lusted after the latest sexy, stealthy, go-fast, trillion dollar boondoggle.

I'm sorry to say it is the USAF brass that have been trying to kill the A-10 since before the Gulf War. Problem is its useful the F-35 still isn't...
