Sailors on USS Lincoln outside Iran are exhausted and suffering from poor morale on ship, families warn

The great deal they were offering me was that I would be in the Navy or Air Force, being paid as an officer, while getting my bachelors and masters degrees for free. It was restricted to certain jobs, but when I found out the Air Force would make me the same offer... I just was not going to stay in a submarine.

My family has a long Navy tradition, so it was an issue.

Back in the day, a lot young damaged black men roamed the country, lost, unemployed and traumatized by the Vietnam war. They were indeed spat on by the Federal government. They were expected to forget about the war, the way we left with our tails between our legs and all the waste in lives, especially among blacks and just be normal. I was young, but living in the projects, I saw so so many lost negro souls just roaming around lost....it was sad.

I can imagine authority figures spitting on Black veterans, especially back then. It was worse during WWII.

trump is trying to bring back those bad old days.

I did not serve much more than technically. I had detached tendons that the Air Force claimed did not heal well enough. They gave me an honorable discharge after 6 months. At the time, I thought the doctors were overreacting to a minor health problem. I used to be sort of pissed about it, but that was a long time ago.
 
The Demonic Empire as it keeps losing all of its wars might want to make minimal efforts to care for its NAVY.

I got discharged in 85' too. And yes, the money was banging. When I went into Data Processing, I was a few months short of qualifying for a bonus and I was devastated, it was a lot too, I think about 10 grand. The computer age was just coming into its enfancy.

"Infancy," Comrade.

What country did you belong to the armed forces in?

And you can say that with a straight face? Trump was asked about the USS Lincoln's plight, literally called them all liars and said their deployment should be longer...The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier has been deployed for more than 260 days, originally departing from San Diego on November 21, 2025. It has set a Navy record by spending over 200 consecutive days at sea without a port stop...and yet, the families of these men ALL STILL SUPPORT DONALD FUCKIN TRUMP....SO I SAY FUCK EM

With a completely straight face. Extended deployments suck, however as anyone that has actually served knows, they occur quite frequently. The military engine does not operate on what any sailor, soldier or Marine thinks let alone their feelings. You should know that.

BullShit......I have already documented that this carrier has blown away the all time record for longest run between port calls.....and they will still be on station for at lest two more weeks.

Then there is the matter of the NAVY not properly supplying the ship....which is also likely the worst ever.

The situation is bad enough that the Centcom commander just made a visit to try to calm things down.
 
There is also the matter that this cruise was supposed to be over in May.....and while extensions are not rare they are not going to be back till sometime in SEP.....that is a lot....and this is hard on families......they are missing their kids entire summer vacation when this was not the plan.

The lack of empathy from the dying Empire is stunning.....stunningly stupid.
