During the Wargame Operation Ocean Venture we had 3 main Aircraft supporting us during the mock invasion of the base. The FA-18 Hornets (Marines and Navy), Ah-64 Apaches (operating off of Ships at sea) and the A-10s. Not a bloody F-15 or F-16 in the bunch. ;) The A-10s similated flying from the...

I know I saw the footage years ago during the invasion. But there was one A-10 literally manuvering at building top level providing cap cover for the ground pounders. It was impressive how it could manuver between the buildings like that.

Show me the total A-10 loses in Iraq an Afghnistan over the last 20 years. I can't find any.

Nothing wrong with Niche Roles. Shit we won the Cold War with ton of vehicles that were niche role. Not everything needs to be Mulitirole. In many ways having everything mulitrole can make it not great at the task a more dedicated platform could perform. Question would making a AH-64 Apache also...

Just a bit of personal history. Back when I was in High School I talked to an Air Force recruiter and asked about joining (I know I must have had a high fever and was sick or something). He pretty much made it clear that I would not be a good fit for the Air Force. Where as the Army, Navy and...

Maybe the Air Force should have had the same setup as the US Marines have. Be a separate branch within the Department of the Army. Just like the Marines are a separate branch in the Department of the Navy.

The Air Force Brass does not respect the fact that the A-10 is the Air Forces @#%!ing Pimp Hand!!! The Navy respects the fact that the Ohio Class SSGNs are our Pimp hand The Army respects the fact that the M1A2 is it's Pimp Hand And the Marines respect the fact that it's Zulu Cobra is it's...

But we told them they were on all of the Army Ships. :p

Not anymore. We told them you had a warehouse full of Crayola. They will be search through your stuff for the next 6 months. Oh the vacation. :p

But it has Jarhead Cooties....... Taking it makes you have an urge to eat crayons. :p

You have AH 64 Apache................ We want that too!!!!.:p

Not as much as we use to have back in my day.

To tell you the truth I always wanted a Navalized Version for Litorial Warfare. Have them flying cap cover over some Riverine Boats just like in the Good Old Days.

We need to also make and A-10 type Aircraft to go well into the 21st Century. Just add in some new avionics. Beef up the Gun even more (I know Heresy but I am from the Cult of the Iowa so expect gun beefing up from us) Beef up the armor and crank them out like candy.

The Air Force brass just said......... Shit!!!!!! Now Chuck Norris is supporting the Hog. We are losing!!!!
