The Air Force is still under the misguided assumption that this decision is theirs to make.
Rummy will not allow this to happen. The A-10 has survived more attempts to kill it than a houseful of cockroaches.
The best thing that the Air Force can do, is to transfer the A-10's over to the Marines, who know how to respect a great piece of hardware.
