It doesn’t begin to compare with the hitting power of the GAU cannon on the Hog, either.

It's a flying cannon. The Warthog is my favorite military aircraft and it's bada$$. If I remember correctly they tried to scrap it before and it didn't take. Let's hope it doesn't take this time, as well.

“
A-10 'Warthog' ... so ugly, it's beautiful ...”
I remember thinking, when I first laid eyes on a picture of the A-10 in ’77 even before it was called a “Warthog,” this is about the most ugly plane I’ve ever seen. So I looked into its design and mission. Even in those days of scant information, it quickly became obvious that it was perfectly crafted for its purpose (hence, “so ugly it’s beautiful”). I’ve been an avid fan ever since.
The A-10 was originally designed, if I recall correctly, to be a killer of Eastern Block tanks in the event of an European ground war. It eventually has become a perfect instrument for a number of combat roles.
Love the beast.

Which, using obamamath, are why the A-10 has to go.
Picking us apart and defunding what's left, one program at a time, year after year.
