Anweir: dispite what Tom Cruise and the jet jockeys want, you know full well that what the ground troops need more, especially in places like Afghanistan and Iraq, is an A-10 to spupport them, with a real pilot on board who won’t blow them up because they show up as a thermal image to some idiot officer calling the shots from a few thousand miles away. NO WAY I’d ever have wanted close support from a drone jockey. You’re also aware of how effective, accurate, and selective an Apache pilot can be. The 22 and 35 are just expensive junk, to operate like piloted drones.
