FUCK YEAH

Growing up (as an Air Force brat), A10s where my favorite plane. I think you can blow everything off except the cockpit and that thing would still land. Infact I think the cost of pants would be too high because everytime I pulled the trigger and let go about 2 cluster bombs with one fat daddy napalm bomb to follow I'd cream my pants.

One day we'll learn how much money we are wasting with stealth fighters and guided missiles. Think how fast our wars would be over if someone knew that warring with us would bring 1000 A10s escorting 5,000 B52s with dumb bombs and few hundred AC130 guns ships to do some clean up before leveling the place with about 100 C5s with daisy cutters in the back. And for good fun, park some battleships off the coast of some other coastal shit county and give them a light show for a few days.

The only weapon our ground troops will need is a broom.
