Thanks, GOO. Never in the history of DoD Interservice Budget Jousting have sister services stood up and demanded that another service continue to fund a specific weapon system. There is validation for the A 10s efficacy: Warthog drivers never touch their wallet in bars and restaurants near Army and Marine Corps bases.
I drove both F 16 Vipers and Warthogs and there is no comparison between them as effective CAS machines.
