USS Abraham Lincoln Heads Home After 9-Month Deployment

Anti-Trump narrative

After nine months at sea with no port visits, food shortages, plummeting morale and mental health crises, the top U.S. leadership chose denial to the bitter end. By dismissing these conditions as overblown, the upper echelons of the White House and military actively harmed the very people carrying out the mission they sent them on. When commanders refuse to acknowledge real suffering, the damage to morale runs deeper than any deployment ever could.
