ISIS on the offensive in Iraq

[Pannonian]

Just saying that if I had to choose between fighter jets and A-29s for counter-insurgency operations, I'd go for the fighter jets.

ISIS is an example from practice for the theory I wrote. This thread also happens to be about Iraq and ISIS.

You've missed out the other compelling argument which GC gave. Fuel and other logistical support. Without an unreasonable amount of outside aid, the Afghan state might be able to support a fleet of A-29s. It would likely not be able to support a fleet of jets. If props can do the job, an A-29 flying in the air is better than an F-22 rusting on the ground.
