Some called for legislation to give procurement authority to SOCOM if the Air Force doesn’t buy a fleet of the aircraft.

My impression is that the Air Force isn't really into light attack aircraft, given the way they've been dragging their feet. And if SOCOM needs this capability they should have a way to get it.

Surely the mighty USA would not go back to these proven old aircraft?
They would have to design some fantastical new contraption to perform this role?
