When those grunts are on the ground and in deep doo-doo against an enemy with superior strength in numbers and you is up to your armpoits in lead flying all around ya with occasional mortar rounds, you is very glad to see those support aircraft come by and help "thin out" all the enemy fire and enemy. From helicopter gun ships to our jets dropping napalm and bombs plus using their guns. It was always a welcome sight cause on several occasions that was the only thing that kept us all friom being over run and slaughtered.

I am all for close air support being one who has benefited from it......

Lkorrow> And that's why Obama tried to kill it.


Also, I'm not so sure obozo was the one trying to kill
the A-10. The site I like has pointed out several
times that it was the Air Force trying to deep six it.
So they could 'save' enough money to buy nifty high
tech aircraft . . .

Problem for the Air Force was every time they turned
around the Grunts (Army and Marines) was calling for
an A-10 for some close air support.

I'd love to see U.S. design a similar machine with
the additional durability and some extra goodies like
a tail hook so Marine pilots can fly them off aircraft
carriers.
