Unfortunately no. I was pissed off that winter because my sled was down for the rest of that winter in 2015.

protecting it from what?

Why do you want the A-10 to strafe illegal immigrants?

Because this isn't a Hollyweird production. This is real life.

It's not about what you can see, it's what you can hear. Especially the last 20 seconds 😜

A-10 caused so many friendly fire events in Afghanistan that the army asked the Air Force to stop using them. That gun is not accurate even if pointed at the right thing.

​@@bragr_bro you're probably crushing a lot of egos and fantasies with your facts lol

Well I was a US Marine who worked with the A-10s back in the late 70s and early 80s when they were first introduced in inventory. I served from 1975 to 1987.

If you heard the sound, that means it wasn't aimed at you 😁

I still strongly believe they're making a big mistake by phasing out the A10. Those things are tanks in the sky. They can take alot of hits and still get home safe.

Hey man, That's pretty accurate.

Goes to show military might and advanced technology isn't all that effective against an enemy that never rests.

​@AleksRuzik - I guess it depends on what you mean. Look at the casualty numbers. The insurgents lost over 50,000 people, at the very minimum. Meanwhile, the US barely lost 2,000 in 20 years. That's what having a huge budget and advanced technology will do. It will limit your own losses and increase the mayhem you unleash on your enemy. The US was never overwhelmed at any point nor did it ever lose a single battle. The war wasn't a military defeat in the slightest. You'd be foolish to keep underestimating the world's largest defense budget and its capabilities.

@@ravensfan777 yeah I know. The US was far from militarily defeated, and could've stayed there for 20 years more. But even with all that technology, the Taliban would never have been eradicated. In a broken country full of war and dominated by religion, it was a breeding ground for jihadists. The Afghan Government was weak and had relations with the Taliban, hence why it toppled so quickly. Al Qaeda and ISIS were crippled and have been left as a shadow of their former selves. The Taliban weren't really a threat to the US, not as much as the other factions at least. That's why they didn't face as much of a hammer as the others. The only thing stopping the Taliban was the US, and soon they realised Afghanistan was a lost cause. It was expensive and was never going to become anything but a broken state. Not a military defeat, just a lost cause.

@@Zyxxx101 Yes, you are right, it was a lost cause unfortunately. One of the goals was to train the local Afghans to fight back for their country but they ended up giving up. The war situation was no longer advantageous to the US military and so they withdrew from Afghanistan. Even the withdrawal was poorly handled. But there are people that actually think the insurgents easily defeated the Americans militarily which is delusional when you realize that a lot of them hid in caves and retreated to neighboring countries out of fear. But this original poster says this video is what losing a war looks like which isn't accurate. It actually shows the US dominating the battlefield. However, that's irrelevant and it goes beyond just winning battles. The long-term goals were too ambitious & could never be accomplished realistically. This entire war was doomed to fail eventually. But not due to lack of strength.

Listen to the guy calling in the A10 at about 0:25 second in. Sounds exactly like Tom hanks. And again at 1:27 calling out commands

@@-qj6ps ok i hear it now lol
