re: The A-10 Warthog video the Air Force may not want you to see

These Air Force retards spend far too much time in a classroom and not enough time on the ground.
The likelihood of a near-peer conflict is virtually nil. You can have fewer 35's and 22's to develop and maintain the tech and still have the Warthog for actual, no-shite combat. If people think we're going to be rolling against Iran or North Korea and are directing strategic resources thereto anytime soon, they're pretty stupid. Hybrid state/non-state (like in Ukraine and arguably Syria) conflicts are the future.
The ground soldier is still, ultimately, the shot-caller. There should be no debate about that, and the Army and Marines still want the platform. Keep it.
You sound just like all the Admirals in 1917 telling Billy Mitchell that the battleship was the king of the hill and there's no way they can be sunk from the air.

Actually you do, I've been saying that the need for a platform like F35 is diminishing and will eventually be gone and yoy refuse to even acknowledge that concept because it has been drilled into you that our Air Force needs to do that mission with a platform like the 35.
And Abu isn't actually saying don't be ready for a near peer conflict. He's just saying that maybe you should focus a bit more attention on the wars that this country actually fights, and not the wars that the glory hounds in the Air Force want to fight.
