We certainly do need the Raptor ... but not for CAS and counter-insurgency.

A1 is a great example of 1950s technology answer to the CAS/CI problem.

A10 has become a great example of 1970s airframe augmented by 1990s avionics answer to the same problem.

I'd like to think we've learned a few things since then, so that A-next will make both of them look wimpy.

Trouble is we currently have an anti-American poltroon in the White House.

And to that “poltron” we are the enemy as we love our Constitution and Country.

oooohhhh.....A-next! What a lovely vision that brings! Like a lfying Carcassonne castle with armaments bristling from every battlement!
