These systems are being scrapped BECAUSE they are effective (F-22 and A-10). This is part of the big senior officer purge. If you don’t drink the ideological kool aid, you are gone.
This is being done on purpose.
I nave a feeling that Obama and his minions will become more damaging to are military the closer he comes to leaving office. the worse damage will happen after 2016 election before the next president takes office.
The saga of the A-10. Reminds me of a comment I heard. The only way you can lose a Government Job. Is if you are really doing a good Job!
