A proper extract of the article would look like this:
Five Reasons the US Military Is in Trouble
1- “The Air Force is short 4,000 maintainers and more than 700 pilots today.”
2- “In 2015 the Navy had a backlog of 11 planes in depot, next year in 2017 they are going to have a backlog of 278.”
3- “Less than one-third of the Army is ready to meet the requirements of the Defense Strategic Guidance—it’s supposed to be no less than two-thirds.”
4- “Marine Corps aviation requires on average 10 hours of flight time a month and they are getting about four.”
5- “Less than half of the Air Force combat forces are ready to face a peer competitor such as China and Russia.”
Very good. Now consider what would happen to our feminized ground forces if we faced a war like Korea?
As of this week, at least 701 pilots short and counting. It is very bad.
