From the article:
“ Over the decades of their operational history, both the F-16 and the A-10 have proven exceptionally effective against sandal-shod AK-47-wielding soldiers and traffic jams of passenger vehicles seeking to flee a hot war zone.”
Which is the point….we’ve been kicking around BS fighters in sandals and a few trucks here and there and haven’t been in a real war for 70 years. We go up against Russia, it’s a whole different game = massive unending pine boxes back to America. 100s of thousands.
