I was under the impression ground troops like them a lot.

“It’s over 40 years old. It was, in its time, a great aircraft — it served us well. I was an advocate for that program for a long time, but it doesn’t scare China.”

And how old is the B-52?

It’s time to transfer the entire ground support role to the Army and Marines since the prissy faggots running the Chair Force can’t be bothered with it.

Yeah, they’re pretty useless. NOT! What’s general nuisance want to replace them with? Solar powered drones? Fidiots! “Hey, I know. We have something that works. Lets get rid of it!”

USAF wants a new toy. They are great old school weapons that put the fear of God into the enemy. Look at the M-2 Browning .50 cal. That is some old tech, but we’ve got Ma-Duece on all sorts of vehicles and used lots of places.
Piss off AF!

Here come the anti-A-10 idiots. We just need a new version of A-10, that’s all.

... flying cannons also known as Warthogs, and on Thursday, service leadership stressed to legislators that it's time to move on because the warplane is less useful than it was 40 years ago and simply "doesn't scare" China.

If I were an enemy ground-pounder or armored trooper, it would scare the hell out of me!

Who cares about China? FJB himself said they are no big deal.

US Air Force secretary says it’s time to move on from the A-10 Warthog because it ‘doesn’t scare China’ and has only ‘limited usability’


So Frankie, a valid military criteria for a USAF plane is it has to scare the enemy? That means most of the USAF inventory is not scary and has to go.

Limited usability as opposed to what? A Swiss army knife?
