Seems amazing giving service personnel are literally trying to commit suicide at the moment 🥺

Leadership is incompetent and the CinC is demented. I'd be tempted to go overboard too.

Half a cup of rice and two tortillas. That's the "Little People's" military feast.

@Nonilex they should eat the MAGA sailors first...

They don't give a shit. They don't care about tomorrow's readiness crisis. They relish it. It will just be another crisis that demands money and power

#Trump truly is a #sociopath

Trump says USS Lincoln’s deployment was ‘not nearly long enough’

Trump on Friday dismissed claims that families of #ServiceMembers aboard the #USSAbrahamLincoln have concerns about conditions aboard the aircraft carrier, which has been deployed for nearly 9 months supporting #TrumpsWar in #Iran.

Instead, Trump claimed the ship’s lengthy deployment had in fact not been long enough.

Even more brain-breaking: recently overheard a kid talking about how he'd signed up for [military] & was waiting to start bootcamp.

I was good. I kept my trap shut. But mentally I was screaming, "Are you out of your freaking mind??" Though I suppose it's possible he's a True Believer, in which case: "Are you out of your freaking mind??" (At least he wasn't signing up for ICE?)

(Though I've heard the economy is driving fresh recruitment, which 🤬)

@Nonilex the latest thing for carriers is trump arbitrarily deciding an already-under-construction carrier needs an older-style steam launch ram, not the modern electromagnetic one used for new carriers.

Apparently now Fuckface In Chief is now an expert at naval engineering.

@Nonilex if some 25-year-old bro gives him the right pitch trump would probably order them to convert back to coal.

Or sails.

@Nonilex The US has the worlds greatest military-industrial complex. They care about extracting votes and money from taxpayers to benefit contractors. They don't give a hoot about the "war fighters".

Trump confusing cruelty for strength…again.

@Nonilex

Note to CN:

The USS Lincoln is not the only ship on a war footing whose sea duty has been overextended, with insufficient support from the Navy and Pete Hegseth's Pentagon.

I assume that's because Whisky Pete was too busy combing through files at the Bureau of Naval Personnel, looking for women and people of color to fire.

@Nonilex His dirt nap won’t be long enough.

@Nonilex In a just and fair world, Trump would immediately be sequestered with a couple hundred men who are being fed moldy food in a tin can on the ocean for 9 months, only to be told at the end that he's going back for another 90 days.
