Sailors on USS Lincoln outside Iran are exhausted and suffering from poor morale

Loose lips and all that.

"An unidentified father, who's also a Navy veteran, reportedly said his son described seeing holes that have worn through the ship's deck."

If true, it's crazy that sailors can tell their families so much. Doesn't speak well of security. I'm reminded of WW2 censors who read letters being mailed to families.

Assumming it's true, half a cup of rice and tortillas it's a formula for a lot of nutrients deficiency + lack of proteins make the body start pulling it from muscles in order to repair other tissues.

Maybe some politician should tell them they’re just entitled and that they should be thankful to receive anything. Then they can add a quip about their steak and lobster fest.

Works for the non-military population

The last time dire news about the state of morale and food on board a US Navy ship was paraded around it turned out to be pure fiction. That famous pic of the gray "insole" and pile of ground something with carrots was from years before this conflict and in a totally different context.

There's a war on, and right now it's mostly a war of propaganda.

Western imperialism is dead and so is the west. Good riddance. Now build a wall around the west let them stay in their own hubris. While the rest of the world can live in peace with out the greedy westerners. Who also caused climate change

If true, Bill Ackman and Miriam Adelson could hire a cruise ship parked next to the carrier for the sailors to rest, eat and enjoy themselves.

Both of them desperately wanted this war.

God damn, Trump wanted to be like Putin, and as this shows evidently he's quite good at it!

The Russian army is also poorly equipped, poorly trained and in chaos...

Damn, fighting for the epstein alliance and the president of peace sounds awful.

Still, Trump will soon be able to get the strait of hormuz open like it was before he attacked iran, and he'll be able to get Iran's word they won't make nukes, just like they said they wouldn't before he attacked them...which will be a better victory than spending 20 years to replace the taliban with the taliban I suppose.

Fucking idiots.

At this point we need a massive eugenics program to save this country.

No, that's just making a second problem.
