lol dude I’ve been an enlisted NCO in the infantry going on two decades. The ones who will be pushing hard for constant CAS long after it’s time has come and gone will be the academics that want more funding for expensive jets that aren’t worth what they cost to own and operate.
Putting a human being above the battlefield gives you the ability to see the broader picture and respond accordingly especially against an advanced enemy.
A 21st century battlefield will have so much electronic noise that many communications and control freqs will be jammed into ineffectiveness.
We are still shifting our nation's military towards "littoral" combat scenarios against "technologically dumb" enemies which will lead to a bloody nose when Russia or China comes marching.
Thank you for your service btw

Skirmishes are occurring in Iraq/Syria/Africa right now involving US Forces; communication jamming is not occurring. Are you talking with a near peer adversary?
