Military Pits the F-35 Against the Mighty A-10

"The military compares the power and precision of the F-35 and the A-10. Country Livin' is all about embracing the wild side of life! From hunting and camping to country music, beer, and ranching, we’re your ultimate source for everything outdoors and full of that rugged country spirit."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Why do they feel compelled to compare the two?  My guess is they want to justify their decision to bench the A-10.  The decision isn't about which one is better qualified for close air support, but which is the larger investment.  Since the F-35 has that one hand hands down and wasn't built for that mission, it needs the justification.

It's an apples-peaches comparison. The A-10 is all about CAS; the F-35 is a multi-role fighter. The A-10 won't do well at air-to-air fighting (IIRC, an A-10 shot down a helicopter or two in the Gulf War). The F-35 won't do well at CAS.

I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
