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 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.

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.
