LTV was pitching a new version of the A-7 to the Navy, and the Marines were quite content with their F-4s at the time, the types that the Hornet replaced. Both types were considered superior in their respective roles, Light attack and Fighter, compared to the Hornet. Although the Hornet gave both types a dual capability that neither had possessed before.
No hating on Hornets!! They've always been one of my favorite jets.

Just stating some history... no hating going on here...
"Surely I have made my meaning plain? I intend to avenge myself upon you, Admiral. I have deprived your ship of power, and when I swing 'round, I intend to deprive you of your life."
Sure has been a lot to clean up on this build. I know you will get it done right
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall
They've always been one of my favorite jets.
