Do you think this is a good budget cut? 2014-03-07T04:12:42-05:00 SSG Private RallyPoint Member 71278 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div> For anyone who has been in a TIC, and has recieved close air support from an A-10.

Personally, I think Helo support is better in the environment we dealt with in the mountains, but have had great benefits from A-10 support. They are an amazing show of force for would be combatants. I do not believe we should eliminate them completely, but their use should be limited, especially when Helo support is available.
