Navy’s Depleted Aircraft Will Take Years to Rebuild After Obama-Era Defense Cuts

John Venable, a senior research fellow for defense policy at the Heritage Foundation, cited a report released Monday that found two-thirds of the Navy's strike fighter jets are unable to fly due to maintenance problems exacerbated by several years of military budget cuts.

Thirty-five percent of grounded fighter planes are waiting for parts, while 27 percent are undergoing major depot work, according to the report published by Defense News. A full 62 percent of F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet strike fighters are out of service, a concerning figure because of the essential role the planes fill in the fleet's combat power.

In all, more than half of the Navy's planes are grounded, including some 1,700 combat transport aircraft, patrol aircraft, planes, and helicopters.

The true legacy of Jug Ears: stir the pot and start brush fires around the world while leaving us poorly defended. It's what Donks do.

Barry Soetoro and his Alinskyite masters siphoned all that money out of defense and gave it to the urban ferals via hugely bloated welfare programs. It's exactly what Jimmy Carter did, and it took Reagan two terms to fully reconstruct the military. Trump has his work cut out for him, but I know where he can find a sizable chunk of the needed funds: cancel the F-35 boondoggle and spend that money putting real fighter planes back into service.

Then gut federal welfare without mercy and kick out the illegal aliens. There will be more jobs than bodies to fill them. If you're able-bodied, you work or you starve.
