The Pentagon sometimes gets caught feeding its part of the "military-industrial complex" that Eisenhower warned us about. The A-10 "Wart Hog" retirement is one of them. An ugly, but deadly warplane...if you were the bad guy in any ground wars in the last few decades, you did not want to see this thing popping up over the horizon.

Compare that to the F-35 which costs more (pre-deployment) than any other weapons system ever dreamed up by the Pentagon (even Reagan's Star Wars joke cost less).
It's all your money folks....
