Ep 446: America's Military Is Falling Behind - Lt Gen Deptula Tells It Like It Is!

Welcome back to the Ones Ready podcast—where we cut through the BS and talk about what actually matters. Today, retired Lt. Gen. Dave Deptula joins the team room to drop some truth bombs about the state of the Air Force, Space Force, and whether or not we’re actually prepared for the next war. Spoiler alert: It’s not looking great.

💥 The Air Force is the oldest, smallest, and least ready it’s ever been—meanwhile, China is stacking the deck.
💥 Only 3% of the DoD budget goes to the Space Force—so yeah, China is winning the space race.
💥 Budget cuts are gutting our military, but we somehow still have money for bureaucratic nonsense.
💥 AI-controlled fighter drones sound cool, but how is a single pilot supposed to manage them in combat?
💥 Jared Isaacman leading NASA? A game changer for the future of space dominance.

Lt Gen Deptula doesn’t hold back, and neither should you. If you care about air superiority, military readiness, and America actually staying on top, you need to listen to this one.
