A portion of these should be reallocated to the Coast Guard for counter-trafficking operations.
They would look pretty slick in the white and orange livery.

Is this a direct shot at the F-35 or do they speak of other things?
And I suppose “they” “have” to do this so they can buy more F-35s.

It's 100% a shot at the F-35. Soldiers love the A-10 and the moral boost / effective way they roll in and dominate.

F22 has a 20mm Gatling gun system
F-35 has a 25mm Gatling gun system
A-10 is 30mm
