The stupidest thing is that they want to retire the A-10 Warthog - its a beast !!!
Just ask the Iraqi soldiers from the Gulf War - they were scared sh*tless of it ...
The Gulf war is the only war we have won since WW2. Any guesses why? Could it be the R.O.I.'s?
Armies are here to kill people and break things until the other side wants to quit. We have trouble remembering that from engagement to engagement and continue to try to win the "Hearts and Minds" of those trying to kill us.
A restructured army is fine if we restructure our attitudes to fit.
a new softer gentler military is on the drawing boards
no more making mo and akmed a skeered.
