Cool. Loves me some Warthog
It's a national treasure. The Air Force wants to kill it:

This airframe should be kept. I'd say a wing of them for special ops.
They are special and maybe 30 kept with the 270 or so kept for parts.
Keep troops trained as pilots and ground advisers if needed.
Simply cost effective. If a central American country goes wacko or some
people within do it might be just the trick. A billion dollar machine
that flies to fast and can't turn or hide isn't needed.
Seems like they, the DOD, thinks we can fight a war sitting on our sofa
waiting for updates.
The Warthog has been updated and is proving itself over and over again
in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Air National Guard and Air
Force Reserves, and the Army are all asking for the existing A-10s.
Everybody (public, too) but the Air Force loves the hell out of 'em.
The plane they propose to replace it with costs $342 million each.
The Warthog costs $11.8 million each. WTF,O?
The A-10 is being removed from service due to cost savings?!?
Follow the money, guys...
P.S: Maybe the Taliban asked Barry nicely to end their service...

I love how Larry Jackass tells everyone not to engage me but then gets involved in threads I start.
Larry Jackass is worthless **** who can't take his own advice but expects others to.
Larry Jackass is a friend of adult babies who want a nanny.
**** Larry Jackass.
Larry keeps screaming about he's from Medford. Medford, Medford, Medford, Medford. So what? Medford. What goes on there?
