A10c can easily survive in an modern battlefield. It has its role just like every other aircraft. You don't win conflicts with Air power you win it with troops on the ground. That will never change. As long as that is the case we don't care about your perception of future conflicts. The A10 works best for us now, and the current mission set we are engaged in is going to last until we get an administration that is willing to take the gloves off and end the califate.
