The A-10 has been on the verge of extinction for generations now. The plane is too good at what it does and does it too inexpensively. As far as results go, though, it is hard to beat. It's like a winter car that can take a beating and still get you home, even if you'd rather have a stupidly expensive and unreliable Quattroporte instead. The A-10 is really good at keeping ground troops alive and keeping A-10 pilots alive, but the defense profiteers can't make the big bucks with the A-10 doing its job. Nice job, Chuckles. Obama did a great job picking Hagel.
