Sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln are hitting a breaking point
Things are going sideways on the USS Abraham Lincoln, and Washington is playing the blame game instead of listening to the families.
So, the USS Abraham Lincoln has been at sea since November, and people are starting to notice that the crew is losing it. Families are reporting that sailors are trying to jump overboard, while Washington elites are busy arguing about whether or not that counts as a crisis.
Senator Richard Blumenthal is sounding the alarm, pointing out that keeping ships at sea for nearly a year isn't a strategy, it's a recipe for disaster. Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is out here calling these reports 'fake news' and acting like everything is perfectly fine. It's the classic move: blame the messenger and ignore the fact that the people actually doing the work are running on fumes.
Whatever the official spin is, it's pretty hard to ignore when families are screaming for help while the top brass is busy posing for PR photos in the Caribbean. A total lack of accountability from the top down.
