Because no one would want to flip burgers if they could get the same money on social security without having to work?
 
I sponsored a soldier deployed over in the sandpit when my daughter was in middle school ("Herobox"). Before he returned to the US, he sent her a flag that had been flown on a B1 during a mission, along with a certificate of authenticity. They are on the wall in a display case outside her bedroom.
 
Damn,
How many hailstorms did that A10 fly it? it looks like the 2nd graders went berserk on it with ball pean hammers.
I worked on that aircraft at England AFB some 35 years ago. On the nose, what you see are the dents made by the refueling nozzle missing the refueling port which is located just in front of the canopy.

Does the flag certificate have any Wing/Squadron or tail number information on it?

Are you trying to say that some boomers can't fly their boom properly? 😉

For anyone that's curious, the turbulence directly behind and underneath a KC-135 is wicked bad. I've seen other aircraft drop and raise more than 20'.
It's a wonder there aren't more collisions during mid air refueling.

I found it quite smooth behind the 135. Problem with the A10 is the tankers have to fly slow to refuel then there is a lot of induced turbulence. KC-10 was rough as hell though.
