Other reasons for possibly leasing A-10's could be (total uneducated guesses obviously) 1) In theater in 12 to 18 mos. 2) May be able to bypass most of the bureaucratic processes associated with procurement 3) Can be returned to the Americans later 4) The most capable aircraft for CAS I can...

That's a shame. I would have liked that story to have actually taken place at some time. You soldiers sure deserve it IMHO :salute: :cdn:

Howdy, I thought that the Star article was the best piece of journalism to come out of Afghanistan so far. I was really impressed by the tone and professionalism in that article. So many articles come off like they were written by a generic reporter filling a slot for the editors. That one...

Maybe roll up the rim and win a G-wagon with 22 inch spinners and a chrome .50 cal.  ;D

Bravo redleafjumper, well done sir!                   :D I believe it is once again your turn, yes?
