6 soldiers on the USS Abraham Lincoln have tried to jump off the ship due to horrific conditions during the ship’s extended deployment in the Middle East. The crew is enduring severe supply shortages, lack of basic hygiene products, and poor-quality rations.

“The US military is going back to being MANLY MEN filled with TESTOSTERONE. We don’t need gay shit like supply logistics and basic hygiene. The crusaders didn’t need that WOMAN stuff.” - Pete Hegseth

Still gets me that two of the National Review guys, who didn't vote for Trump btw, wrote scoldy "your TDS prevents you from seeing this is a good pick" about a dumb, socially maladjusted, drunk talk show host with zero qualifications

You mean a Christian White Nationalist tv host doesn't make a good SoD? Should that be White Christian Nationalist? Hmm. That seems to de-emphasize the White Nationalist part. And Christian Nationalist White Supremacist is a whole lot of alliteration. I'll stay with asshole.

I can’t believe that letting an alcoholic 11 year old whose only military experience is watching TikTok goon edits of Kingdom Of Heaven run our entire military might’ve been a bit of an oopsie poopsie

When I was in, on that same carrier, this was pretty normal. There’s a certain subset of our population that joins that is more susceptible to becoming sad and killing themselves, it is what it is

I will never understand what Thom Tillis was thinking on this one. Ruined that senator's legacy by allowing this to happen.

Not a sailor - what does It mean to “try” to jump overboard from a ship ?? Did they not jump high enough ? Did they jump in the wrong direction ? I call BS

The question is is this "normal" (in the sense of it happening in other times before Trump)? Because sample size 6 is obviously not that representative and it's understandable people get screwed up on extended deployment sometimes.

Btw US Navy ships usually don’t have soldiers. Most likely either sailors or marines.

Hegseth is a murderous dick desperately trying to be the Tony Robbins of American Genocide. Also Soldiers, are simply Soldiers and have been for THOUSANDS of years and Hegseth's bullshit failed rename attempt to War Fighters is like someone promoting chewing gum 'cause vitamins.

It's not hard to successfully jump ship. No such thing as attempted.

So the spike in service member suicides under his predecessor wasn’t a catastrophe? Military is a high stress job and consistently struggles with suicide prevention. Rate is 4x higher than average. Has been for decades.
