As most any combat troops who saw service in Iraq or Afghanistan will tell you the sound of a A-10 coming in was like the sound of a Uh-1H was to troops in Vietnam.

@Wildman I for one appreciate your posts on these subjects. They help me understand things a bit better that I *really* never will fully. My late father was in WW 2 - Pacific theatre, Navy. I asked him once or twice as a boy if his ship was attacked. He said "Yes", but otherwise wouldn't talk about it - until he was on his deathbed. Japs strafed the ship. He said it was *so* very quiet on deck afterwards, and he sat there with his best buddy and watched him die.
Wow.
So thank you for these insights, and Goddess Bless you and all vets.

Can’t say if I’ve seen stuff like that before.
