Maybe some rich Americans should join the Military? 🐘🇺🇸
The saddest thing is that this war is a total waste of lives and resources. Completely unnecessary.
Hegsethian arrogance.
Sailors and Marines serving aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln have, it is reported, been contending with serious mental-health difficulties during a protracted deployment in the Middle East.
In certain instances, sailors have attempted to throw themselves overboard in acts of self-harm, according to two recent accounts.
Annabelle Loma informed the Military Times that her husband was among those who endeavoured to leap from the carrier.
“He is terrified,” Mrs Loma told the publication. “He fears he will receive a dishonourable discharge, and that merely on account of exhaustion his thirteen-year career will be ruined in an instant. That is neither just nor right. Such considerations ought not to be burdening him at this moment.”
There have been at least two further occasions on which individuals have attempted to jump overboard, according to the same Military Times report.
Last week, several relatives of those serving on the carrier met in San Diego with the acting Secretary of the Navy, Hung Cao, to discuss the mental-health crisis afflicting their loved ones.
One spouse recounted receiving a message from her husband in which he expressed the hope that he “would not awaken on the morrow.”
“Provisions have, it would appear, been scarce,” Nicole Conrad, whose son serves as a sailor aboard the carrier, told MS NOW. “He has informed me that there was a period when he was limited to half a cup of rice and two tortillas.”
Families who spoke to MS NOW further related that their relatives had complained of prolonged intervals without hot water for bathing, the suspension of laundry services, and the exhaustion of basic necessities such as toothpaste and soap.
