The Spin

Narrative A

The surge of suicides on the USS George Washington is directly related to poor culture, an appalling work environment, and uninhabitable living conditions. There aren't enough resources to combat what is becoming a mental health crisis; real change is needed.

Narrative B

While the recent spate of suicides is concerning and raises questions about an underlying issue in the military's culture, suicides are extremely complex and typically caused by various factors. Ongoing investigations will determine the causes, but there's no indication to suggest a correlation between these tragic events.
