‘The Pentagon has given too much power to the defense contractors that are bilking American taxpayers,’ comments Rep. Matt Gaetz.
A third of the US military’s F-35 fighter jets manufactured by Lockheed Martin are currently inoperable, the US Air Force Secretary admitted on Wednesday.
Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall made the admission during questioning by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) Wednesday.
Watch the exchange:
BREAKING: U.S. Air Force Secretary ADMITS that less than a third of F-35s built by Lockheed Martin are operationally capable!
The Pentagon has given too much power to the defense contractors that are bilking American taxpayers.

“The Pentagon has given too much power to the defense contractors that are bilking American taxpayers,” commented Gaetz on X, adding, “It’s not going to get better unless we demand accountability.”
The F-35s should be the mascot of the deep state. It’s a worthless pile of shit used by the degenerate establishment to rob the people just like the Ukraine war. https://t.co/qLeQlMZkRB
