The case for the Army to fly A-10s

A-10 "Warthog"
A thoughtful piece from American Mercenary:
"A well reasoned argument looks at both sides of any given argument then chooses the one that best fits reality. Solomon asked me to explain why the Army shouldn't fly A-10s, and my argument boiled down to I didn't want an air arm in the Army that could gut the ground force like the USMC is experiencing.

But it would be mentally dishonest of me to not go back and look at why the Army shouldn't be flying A-10 warthogs to provide CAS to itself. You cannot be objective unless you understand the argument from both sides". more
Apaches, AC-130s and Warthogs will probably be used in CONUS in the near future against you-know-who.  It behooves us to know everything we can about the capabilities of the platforms.
Sun Tzu said it best:
" If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles."
