Didn’t trump save the A-10?
[Trump always makes sure he gets his moneys worth. ]
My thought on that is that SecDef Mattis is a Marine. Marines are ground-pounders at core, and a ground-pounder SecDef isn’t going to let a tactical air support asset as good as the A-10 go away without some *really* good reasons.
He sure did. The A-10 Warthog I love the name of it. Ugly and extremely effective.
