Pentagon Faces Backlash for Veterans Day Post Featuring Chinese Jet

A Veterans Day tribute by the F-35 Joint Program Office mistakenly included an image of a Chinese aircraft, sparking criticism and mockery.

The F-35 Joint Program Office posted a Veterans Day tribute with a Chinese J-35 fighter jet instead of the American F-35 on social media.
The error was widely criticized, with prominent figures like Senators Eric Schmitt and Mike Lee expressing their disapproval.
The post was deleted after backlash, but not before it was shared and mocked across various platforms.
This incident is part of a series of social media blunders by the Department of Defense under the Biden administration.
The F-35 Joint Program Office has yet to issue a corrected post or respond to requests for comment.
