Like most things in the military, another use will be found for it.
I am actually surprised it wasn'ts used more in the sandbox to tear up some of the "fortifications" used by the enemy, but as I type that I realize the collatoral damage would be too great.
Still the A-10 is a near perfect piece of kit. Perfectly designed for it's intended purpose, this rarely happens in the military.
