The A-10 will be in service when I am dead and gone, I have EVERY confidence.
There is nothing more the pentagon likes to do than rattle people's chains about this program or that.
They claim to be advocates, ultimately, for their fighting men. There is not a single person that puts on the
uniform outside that building that wants to see the A-10 go away. This is more BS related to procurement,
but after seeing the F-35 go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on without ever seeing the first one
in service, I don't think the Pentagon could find it's a55 with either hand. Not sure I would ever believe another
thing they have to say, them or their cuddle buddies in the defense contractor biz.
