Thanks LTC (Join to see) for sharing the unsurprising news that Afghanistan wants the USA to send A-10 squadrons back to Afghanistan to fight Taliban, ISIS and al Qaeda most likely.
The A-10 Warthog is much more robust and lethal in mountainous areas of Afghanistan than the F-35 could be.
I expect that A-10 pilots could be trained to launch from and land on Navy aircraft carriers.

Well if the Air Force leadership didn't do everything short of outright destroying them themselves, we should've left them there. A very effective weapons platform that has no peer.
