Running on Empty: 70% of F-35s 'Not Combat Capable'?

On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:

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.

Martyanov on this:

But, of course, the release of GAO Report on F-35 is shocking, it is mind-boggling. If the situation with the new generation SSN(X) hasn’t been enough, now the actual numbers on combat readiness of F-35 is a shock!

Good God! The USAF doesn’t have the air force in effect. We knew F-35 was shit, but this–this is the greatest financial swindle in the history of
combat aviation. Add here LCS clusterfuck, add here SMO and the
“performance” of US-made weapon systems, and the picture which
emerges… well, I am awe-struck with the scale of corruption,
technological ineptitude and BS which permeates the whole system. It is a
whole other level. Shocking still. I’ll discuss this in my new video.

And then his video on it:
