How do you feel about the A-10's proposed retirement?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

There is always some resistance to change. I am one of them. I HATE change. I am also wise enough to know that at some point you must make changes. Let me offer my POV:
1. If it works, don't screw with it.
2. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
3. The greatest War Machine ever built is the B-52. The only airplane to return to service from the Boneyard.
4. I loved the F-4. It was proof that with enough horsepower a brick can fly.
5. I found a new favorite, the F-15...it's everything the F-4 wasn't.
6. I was lucky enough to see portions of the fly-off witht eh A-7 and A-10. I thought the A-10 was gorgeous until they put those big blowers on it. You cannot argue with success. Just like the C-130.
7. We do need to make some changes but we do not need every damn new design to come down the pike.
Design, produce and buy airframes that can be easily modified to fit the needs of ALL the flying services.
8. The A-10 needs to be kept alive...just like the venerable B-52.
Note: When the final B-1 & B-2 airframes are relegated to the Boneyard, it WILL BE a B-52 doing the fly-by salute.

I love the plane, hate to see it go, but it is a legacy aircraft, no longer made, no upgrade being planned for it. Even the P-51 had to be retired eventually. Same goes for the A-10, but I don't see the JSF as the replacement for it. It is not really a ground support aircraft.
