I want to ask a stupid question. Do we want to take an immensely expensive Swiss Army knife and use it like hammer in CAS missions when we have a much cheaper and proven hammer in the A-10?

Yes! Because MIC and Defense Industry needs our money! Don't cha know lol but I agree, the A-10 is a proven tool

SSG (Join to see) - There is another aspect as well. I read the F-35 flight time is not much before a needed overhaul. Does the USAF want to depreciate their most expensive fighter doing CAS?

MAJ Ken Landgren I stopped really looking into it a long time ago, but based off what I'm gathering the DoD is looking at it like we poured so much money into it, we want to see this through.

In the investment world it is called good money chasing the bad money. For example buying more stock that keeps going down and will never go up. SSG (Join to see)
