    Default air force to get rid of a-10 warthog so they can spend more money on money pit f-35

    what foolishness, maybe they think that the a-10 may be replaced by anti-tank missiles launched from rotary wing aircraft

    The Air Force isn't concerned with the air needs of the Army and never will be. But the A-10 is too old and outdated to perform its role as a anti-tank platform.

    One of things you'll see in the country sides of Great Britain will be these little building placed out in nowhere. Some look like little chaples, some look like little watch towers etc. They seem to the viewer, and they really are quite useless. They are called Follies: they are constructions that simply spend money to provide receipts for budget grants . . .

    you mean like purchasing tanks that the military neither wants nor needs?
