"We're going to retire the old, ugly slow POS for our shiny new toy that can't do it's job yet, but look at how pretty it is!"
"And it costs 100 times what that slow pig does, and did we mention it's shiny and new?"
Yup, that's what I imagine the morons in charge keep telling themselves to justify retiring the A-10.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen
Was in Squadron Officers School in the 70s listening to a presentation from the A-10 program manager. During speech someone came in and let him know they had just received the production decision. May have been a bomber guy, but have loved that aircraft ever since.
