Not to side track the thread to much. Antitank weapons have given the guy on the ground a nice punch. Tanks cost millions and it only takes 50K to kill one.
I like sex, drugs and automatic weapons. That's why i'm a dues paying member of the Libertarian party. Struggling to keep the government away from messing with the above.
My Wife has her own vice.

I also guess the The AC-130 Gunship can also do a lot of what the A-10 can do and more.
There are a lot of great platforms that do a lot of great things, but not as well as the A-10. It will take multiple aircraft to replace what the A-10 does. Preds and Reapers are great, but don't have the payload. AC-130 is great, but can't do the FAC(A) or OSC role.

Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.
If the A-10 is " not viable in the current airspace" how the heck is the slower must fly in a predictable circle Ac-130 better then the faster and highly maneuverable A-10 ?
