“Best of all, A-10 “drivers” have a deep appreciation for their ground support mission.”

Something many forget.

Side story: As a Gulf War I ALO, I was sitting in the desert, mosquito net covering my head and MRE, covered by huge flies. As I ate, suffering the heat and dust, stinking because as a ruck-sack carrying ALO I had no access to showers (lived with the Army), every so often some young grunt would sit next to me and grumble something about “You Air Force guys get all the high speed stuff and live an easy life.” I never got angry or frustrated, as I appreciated his world (being there how could I not?), and merely smiled and went back to eating. . .
