Well in preparing some notes for the A-10, I rechecked my ref here and right now don't feel like logging there now to unlock the article. However in our continued efforts to disengage, cut back, retire and just depart in general the trend in Europe continues. I already in the MBT post noted a couple of months back that the last ABRAMS left Europe from Germany. Now the USAF has pulled out the last A-10 SQD. from Germany and by default Europe. I have to agree with the DID folks, the last thing Europe in general needs is fighters, those you have plenty of. A capable all around ground attack aircraft would've served a better purpose left there but Para 1. covers that. Within 15 years we'll leave you in Europe with military admin types and tourists! God help you all then!?!
Maybe some will be MARINES at least they will know how to use their weapons!!
