Conditions aboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln are reportedly dire, according to families of crew members and reports in the media. The aircraft carrier is part of the naval task force off the coast of Iran, supporting the unhinged and ignorant Malignant Fascist's lost war of choice against Iran. Now, some in Congress are demanding answers as to why the ship and others in the task force have been at sea for nine months, as CNN reports:
"Several Democratic lawmakers are calling for answers after concerns were raised by families of sailors aboard USS Abraham Lincoln about the deteriorating living conditions and worsening mental health during the ship’s record-breaking deployment amid the war with Iran.
Since the Lincoln left its home port of San Diego last November, the aircraft carrier has been deployed for more than 250 days after being redirected to the Middle East to support US operations in the war with Iran, now entering its sixth month. With more than 5,000 sailors and Marines aboard, it has not made a port call in more than 200 days, setting a modern-day record for consecutive days at sea, according to Sen. Richard Blumenthal.
News outlets Stars and Stripes and the Navy Times reported this week that there had been multiple attempts by crew members to jump overboard, citing interviews with sailors and families of those on board who described the impacts of the lengthy deployment." (our emphasis)
Reports of widespread shortages of supplies, plumbing issues, deteriorating morale and mental health, and brawls among the crew have become more frequent as the weeks roll by without relief. Another example of the disastrous and incompetent management by the unqualified Defense Secretary Whiskey Pete Hegseth and his draft-dodging cult leader in the White House, this time with direct consequences for our Navy and Marine personnel, whom the MF would likely refer to as "suckers" and "losers."
