The Army didn't field ballistic missiles when you claim to have seen one, but they are working hard now to field a range of surface to surface missiles from the subsonic to the hypersonic, because missiles are the future of air power.

If you're taking contact, would you rather have an A-10 or a couple arty rounds? I'm willing to bet most will choose the A-10, and that's coming from a former artilleryman (artilleryperson nowadays)
And you're absolutely right about arty being used as infantry! I "visited" both sandboxes, and had to walk around a bunch. Not exactly what I signed up for lol
That’s not your choice.
Your choice is artillery now or A-10s later or maybe never. In a fight in Korea or against the Russians or Chinese you will never receive Close Air Support. It would be a misallocation of resources for that to occur.
Aircraft excel at Air Interdiction and that’s great. A friend worked on targeting packages for signature targets in Syria, they did the Lord’s Work there. Flying B-1 sorties at $1,000,000 each to bomb locations the enemy was suspected of recently abandoning doesn’t win wars.
