8 sailors tried to end their lives on USS Abraham Lincoln
After spending the longest time at sea in history, the crew of the USS Abraham Lincoln is hitting a breaking point that leadership is busy ignoring.
So, the USS Abraham Lincoln finally gets home after a deployment that just wouldn't end. We’re talking over 250 days straight at sea. While the top brass is busy patting themselves on the back, the reality is that eight crew members attempted suicide during this stint.
We had guys jumping overboard and others being physically stopped from doing the same. We aren't talking about a quiet trip; we're talking about a ship where plumbing was failing, food was running thin, and morale was essentially non-existent. But when Kirsten Gillibrand starts asking questions, the response from Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth is basically to brush it off as fake news or claim the sailors are misrepresenting their own misery.
It’s wild that a superpower can find bottomless cash for military hardware, but the second someone asks for a little human maintenance, the budget suddenly hits a wall.
