#2   ..and the A-10 is retired and cut before its fighter jockey replacement is on hand. .... and at the new highly inflated unit cost it is doubtful that the 'fighter jockey replacement' will ever be used as a CAS machine, but rather held back as a 'silver bullet,' ala B2. Expect more boots on the ground to die as a result of this lash-up.
