Probably nothing new to those in the know, but interesting none the less:

Money quote:

"I love the A-10!” the Marine next to me yelled as others cheered. “Those gun runs never get old!” A few more passes ensured that the attackers on the mountain would never strike again.

"Throughout the wars in Iraq and in Afghanistan, U.S. and Coalition forces operated under ever-stricter rules of engagement, which prohibit them from firing on any target other than those positively identified as hostile"

Really!!!!

Apart from that a good article about a great aircraft.
