The USAF will NEVER sign off on giving fixed wing attack to the Army. Next subject.
And I would totally agree that the Marines have combined arms and close air support figured out way better than the USAF/Army. Note that the Marine corps forces pilots to be ALO's on a much greater scale than the USAF does.
Ironically, I believe the JTAC in the A-10 incident was a Marine.
