Can someone tell me why the Marine Corps never solicited (at least to my knowledge) the A-10 as a cornerstone aircraft for our CAS missions? I found an article a long time ago on G2mil. I don't agree a lot with the author on many of his other rants, but on this one he seems to have a point (point #3). http://www.g2mil.com/Carriers.htm Can anyone weigh in on why not, other than political reasons? Consider this as well - http://www.warthogpen.com/A-10C.html
