OCU> whether it's worth something over $10 billion to upgrade the remaining fleet of soon-to-be-obsolete aircraft
Soon to be obsolete? Upgrades keep them up to todays
standards. I see you have no concept of what
'Close Air Support' means . . . The A10 is the
worlds premier platform for providing it. It can fly
low and slow and with that 30mm auto cannon it can
reduce a fair sized building to rubble in a short
amount of time. The fact that it is also heavily
armored and designed to withstand a fair amount of
ground fire makes it ideal.
There is currently nothing that can adequately
replace the A10.
OCU> as a percentage, more union jobs were saved when we loaned money to GM and Chrysler
And, here we have it.
Union jobs are more important than seeing the grunts
get the best available fire support. Never mind the
bond holders, creditors, and retirement funds that
got shafted when obamba failed out the auto unions.
Zim.
