A tighter budget means letting go of resources that impact the ability to produce maximum combat power. Such plans include cutting the A-10 Warthog and U2 spy aircraft and closing Air Force bases.
The A-10 no longer meets the requirements for combat in the Middle East.
The Air Force needs a new base closure and realignment commission to do away with excess capacity.
