USS Abraham Lincoln Finally Coming Home After A Brutal 266-Day Stint

Original version ·

After nearly nine months at sea, USS Abraham Lincoln is heading home, though the brass seems more interested in PR than the mental toll on the crew.

The USS Abraham Lincoln is finally turning back toward home after a record-shattering 266 days at sea. While Navy officials are busy high-fiving themselves over mission success, the families left behind tell a much darker story. They report multiple crew members attempting to jump overboard, struggling with supply shortages, and even drinking contaminated water.

When asked about the mental health crisis, Donald Trump didn't just dismiss the concerns—he claimed the deployment wasn't "nearly long enough." Meanwhile, the Navy leadership is busy calling any talk of sailor distress a "dishonest" attempt to paint them as victims, insisting that the crew is simply the "epitome of American strength."

Apparently, resilience is just another word for being pushed until the ship is literally leaking desperate souls. It’s hard to call it a victory when the ship is effectively a floating stress test.
