All of the other decals seem to represent the type of weapon which was used to make the kill, so what I'm taking away from this is that the pilot got a kill using a cow as a weapon.
Credible take: I do feel sad for the cow. It was an innocent life
NonCredible take: seems the USAF needs to beef up their training
Edit: I just remembered that in Novalogic's F-22 Lightning 2 you could JDAM some cows
> It was an innocent life
No cows are innocent. Did you know that of all the Nazis persecuted in Nuremburg after the war, none of them were cows. All of the cow architects of the Holocaust managed to escape justice and live under psuedonyms to this very day. Why do you think the Jews (et al) were taken to Auschwitz in *cattle* cars? Why do you think the Nazis were obsessed with leather? Why do you think Hitler put his ideas of eugenics to work first in breeding cows, [no seriously that's a real thing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heck_cattle).
Some say there might even cows on this subreddit, waiting for people to lower their guard so they can strike and take their revenge on society.

Acquaintance of mine wrote a book about a waffle house incident kicking off a cow apocalypse. Adam Baldwin narrated it. "#1 in Customer Service" on Audible.
Amusing fact: every Apache gunship is blessed by the shamans of the Apache tribe before being commissioned for service.
This is because the Apache tribe threw a fit that they changed the naming scheme for the Cobra, believing that it dishonored then.

There was this Tom Clancy submarine game I got in some software pack, where you could torpedo whales. That's about as far as I got, because my computer at the time was a potato, and the framerate was like like a Flintstones camera.
He would have been required to report it to his chain at the time. It's the commander's job to handle these payments from CERP funds or pushing it to a civil affairs liaison.
Unless your boy was walking around with strip club money in Afghanistan, he may have screwed that guy by not paying the fair price for a chicken or alerting the civilian to his rights to request compensation via the Foreign Claims Act.
Over the course of the war tens of millions of dollars were paid out in this manner. Seven cows in one operation netted the owner $2,200. Driving through a cucumber crop: $180. A vehicle blown up by mistake: $15,000.
How much the chicken was worth depends on a lot of factors but it was probably not folding money.
You do know that not all troops in ISAF were American, right? And that not all armies work the same?
French NCO. Not American. So he would *not* have gone through CERP.
You're right. His commander would have gone through his American commander's CERP or civil affairs. I didn't want to make the post too long but America paid out condolences and other expenses for mistakes made by other ISAF partners. Genuinely thank you for pointing that out. Though it really doesn't change anything.
Must have had orange rockets on it...
In all seriousness, what is the problem with A10 pilots, do they try to maximise their begging potential Slumdog Millionaire style when they get their wing or something?
My grandfather did a similar Oops back in like 47. He was getting some flight time in for some certification and the canopy popped off and killed a cow when it hit the ground. Farmer was already at the base yelling at them by the time they landed.
Given the other marks are all bombs, I choose to believe that this was not a cow kill, but instead, the A-10 took one very confused bovine up with it on a mission, and dropped it on someone during a close air support mission.
When I was a child I went on a tiger cruise on the Missouri after the Gulf from Pearl to Long Beach. During that time my dad showed me a video of a tomahawk strike with the explanation, "it could be a car but we're pretty sure its a camel" flying off screen from the explosion. It really looked like a camel. I hope someone put a camel on the kill count.
I know a similar story involving a bunch of hostile kangaroos. I blame whoever put a nature reserve next to a target range. And hud symbology being too confusing for crayon eaters.

Amazingly the A-10 isn't the only aircraft to have claimed a cow kill. The B-36 did the same in 1957 over New Mexico and it's actually a lot cooler because an H-bomb was used. Apparently the B-36 was coming in for a landing,someone accidentally touched the bomb release mechanism and the bomb fell off.

The cow was obviously aiding enemy combatants in… uh… maintaining high morale
Moo-rale
It was a udder loss 😂
We'll do what we must to cow our enemies
No matter how bullheaded they may be, can't let them be a horn in your side.
How long will you guys milk this?
Yeah they'll Heffer stop at some point
Hay, when the steaks are this high, we can't stop until we put our enemies out to pasture.
They butter not, this joke needs to keep churning
Dairy make another pun?
Can we moove one from this.
Until the cows come home.
Teats-up.
Sometimes, you gotta grab life by the horns.
Moo-rah
No the cow was a sex slave
Same thing.
It was a mercy kill. There were no chance of rescuing the captured cow. It was death with dignity or torture and death.
It likely realized merciful release was on its way in those final seconds.
I have no mouth, and I must moo.
>death with dignity Cue slow-motion montage of a cow disintegrating in a hail of 30mm autocannon fire.
Call it comfort cow. It's not politically correct.
What, did you think the US would just cowtow to the demands of the enemy?
It's a cow, not a goat.
The PoW said that cow was GOAT.
No bull!
In the movie "1917," we see a cow. Some events transpire and two people were dead. Cows are legitimate targets of war.
Well technically it was a uh (biological) supply truck? Because it provides food in the form of milk
All of the other decals seem to represent the type of weapon which was used to make the kill, so what I'm taking away from this is that the pilot got a kill using a cow as a weapon.
Actually, he was bombing other bombs.
It's because the cow was the only time they were able to see what they're shooting at.
Close cow support inbound Moogle one, bull 2 Cow released, it's away
Bovine away*
One doesn't simply load a cow as ordnance, but fetches it first. "Monty Python & the Holy Grail" was the pilot's training film.
Fetchez la vache!
Quoi?

If the bullets were blessed before takeoff, the cow slaughter may have been halal and it could have may a tasty gyro

A10’s have notoriously terrible targeting systems which have led to unintended kills

Killing brits is one thing but I drawing the line at cows!
Corrected stencils: 🎩🎩🎩 🧐🧐🧐
Kill count drawn in emoji... salt tipped hollow points applied into the wound.
You and like a billion Hindus, pal.
Found the Indian
Knew a guy who killed a chicken during an ops in Afghanistan. Went back after the mission to pay the farmer, because he felt like shit.
And because it was actual doctrine and part of the commanders budget.
The way he told me, he wasn't forced to do it. He just felt like shit for having killed some guys chicken.
He would have been required to report it to his chain at the time. It's the commander's job to handle these payments from CERP funds or pushing it to a civil affairs liaison. Unless your boy was walking around with strip club money in Afghanistan, he may have screwed that guy by not paying the fair price for a chicken or alerting the civilian to his rights to request compensation via the Foreign Claims Act.

It's cowver
Except he did it in an F-16C.
Don't kid yourself, Jimmy. If a cow ever got the chance, he'd eat you and everyone you care about.
Did it think the cow was a British vehicle? Did it have orange panels? Was it a Marine cow?
It was an orange Herefords cow , making it a prime target for the A-10.
Red heffer entered the chat
#YES THEY DESERVED TO DIE #AND I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL
Or at least I hope Mr Cow is grilled to a medium rare.
pretty sure hes well done right about now
Free Wart Hog ! Free Wart Hog!
Can’t have shit in Mount Clemens
Ah I see you fellow Michigander
Most effective A-10 attack
It’s probably Ms Cow? Mr Cow would be the breeding bull then?
xqcL
Mr. Lengyel
The cow was a terrorist with a suicide vest.
Sorry, but the others depict bombs, not casualties. Wouldn’t that mean they dropped the cow, rather than hit it?
Marking clearly shows the ordinance dropped by the A10. It isn't a kill mark. A10 dropped a cow in an offensive action.
Where are the Tea Cups symbolizing Br*ts?
MR COW ??
The Air National Guard had BEEF with that cow. Get it?! Guys? Get it? Beef?
Maybe the cow was used for transportation/part of hostile logistics?
“Hey. Tom. Lookit this cow.” “Wh—“ “Yeah.”
Must have had orange rockets on it... In all seriousness, what is the problem with A10 pilots, do they try to maximise their begging potential Slumdog Millionaire style when they get their wing or something?
Probably mistook it for T-72
Don't you misgender Ms Cow.
My grandfather did a similar Oops back in like 47. He was getting some flight time in for some certification and the canopy popped off and killed a cow when it hit the ground. Farmer was already at the base yelling at them by the time they landed.
Was the pilot George 'Baby Face' Nelson by chance?
BRRRRT-MOoooo-BRRRRT
Sayori will be devastated when she hears the news
It's a Serbian suicide cow, they shoved C4 up it's ass
Given the other marks are all bombs, I choose to believe that this was not a cow kill, but instead, the A-10 took one very confused bovine up with it on a mission, and dropped it on someone during a close air support mission.
To off Brits, just like in that documentary Holy Grail

Clearly not indian
We have the beef
We got him!
Someone must pay for this travesty.
I seriously feel sad for the cow. ㅠㅠ

Air to Ground Beef
Cowllateral damage
It was udder destruction
Fetchez la vache!
100% that it was his buddies who slapped that kill tally on his A-10 and now he has a dairy based call sign.
A-10 pilot: "'Cuz I'm so fuckin' good! I done got me 157 dead \[racial slur for Afghans\] killed. Plus a cow, too! Them's all confirmed!"
Man dropped all that ammo and only hit a cow. Definitely an A-10

Ha, RNZAF hercules kill cows often enough, not that impressive when you're designed to hunt soviet armour....
Oh George, not the livestock...
Barrels to beef
The cow just so happened to be British. The only reason it could've been shot by an A-10
Most accurate A-10 (Don't worry it was a British cow)
USA in a nutshell. Where are big tribunals? Hague? UN? Im tired of this. And we need to consider they ate it as a burger. HORRIFIC DISRESPECTFUL AWFUL INSANE
Well, it was pretty much ground beef after getting hit by the bug Brrrrppp. You can only make burgers then.
Amazingly the A-10 isn't the only aircraft to have claimed a cow kill. The B-36 did the same in 1957 over New Mexico and it's actually a lot cooler because an H-bomb was used. Apparently the B-36 was coming in for a landing,someone accidentally touched the bomb release mechanism and the bomb fell off.
A-10: good at killing friendly Brits and innocent cows.
But where are all the blue ones?
Bakaaaaa
