Everything looks like a Nail when all you have is a Hammer!
Anyone care to argue the benefit of having A-10's giving Close Air Support rather than a Strategic Bomber?
The difference between that awesome Cannon raining HE rounds on the Attackers as compared to using GPS guided Bombs cannot be disputed.
If I was on the ground needing help I would want either an A-10 or AH-64 providing the help.
Perhaps we need to reassess the Mission, ROE's, and decide that this just isn't working and it is time to pack our Bags and come home!
