Think Your Country is Defended? Think Agan

Another in the long line of Federal Government lies, deceptions, money-wastes and general incompetence.

A September 2023 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report on the F-35 revealed some shocking statistics on just how unready hundreds of billions of dollars worth of F-35s are to provide actual combat power. In fact, the report indicated that only 15 to 30 percent of F-35s may be capable of combat....

But, but, but, "mission capable" it says!

SUCKER!!

 

...when the average person sees a report declaring that 55 percent of F-35 combat aircraft are “mission capable,” they assume mission capable equals combat capable. But in doing so, they are being deceived.The deception comes out of how the F-35 program office and the whole of the Department of Defense define “mission capable.” It turns out that the DoD definition of “mission capable” does not mean combat capable. What it means is that an aircraft can fly and perform at least one mission. So, a plane designated as mission capable might be capable of doing some type of combat, but it might not. Instead, the mission it might be capable of executing could be testing or training, or some other mission that does not involve combat....

The mission might be "Sit on the tarmac and look really mean."

But hey!!  The Pentagon is successfully spending millions of dollars to recruit homosexuals, dykes, and trannies.  

So what's your complaint?
