Pentagon Faces Backlash for Veterans Day Post
News summary

The Pentagon's F-35 Joint Programme Office faced backlash after mistakenly posting an image of a Chinese fighter jet, resembling the J-35, in a Veterans Day tribute intended to honor U.S. veterans. The post, which read, 'Today, and every day, we thank all Veterans and those currently serving for their service and sacrifice,' was quickly criticized and ultimately deleted following a wave of outrage on social media. Users expressed dismay over the blunder, with some labeling it 'embarrassing and disrespectful' and questioning the competence of the office responsible for U.S. military aircraft. The incident has drawn further scrutiny amid ongoing concerns about the Biden administration's handling of sensitive military communications. As of now, no corrected post has been issued to rectify the mistake. This incident adds to a series of social media missteps by the Department of Defense under the current administration.
