A disturbing report from the Government Accountability Office shows that 70 percent – and maybe more – of the outrageously expensive, over-budget F-35 fighter jets are not capable of conducting combat. Yet Washington continues to rattle sabers at Russia and China. Also today: Pentagon not bothering to track weapons sent to Ukraine, and US considering MORE military aid to Israel as “incentive” for lower civilian casualties.

I was working for the Marine Corp in the 90's when the F 35 first come out. They informed the Marine Corps and Navy that the F 35 will replace all aircraft 2001. I left in 2001, no F 35, 10 years later NOTHING, the F 35 was a big mistake just like the V 22
