Too cheap and effective
The National Defense Strategy tells us our pacing threat is China. The services are supposed to request funds that build a force to execute said strategy. With that in mind, you figure out where you think A-10s would be based for a fight against China, then overlay where you think the tankers needed to get them into the fight will come from, then look at how you think the A-10 would survive the Chinese Integrated Air Defense System (IADS). After you understand all of that, you too would know why we should have already divested the entire A-10 fleet.
