Somebody is lying. I know who my money is on…

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) on Thursday pushed back on reports about conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln during its deployment to the Middle East, denying claims that sailors had died in a brawl or that the carrier had experienced a spike in suicidal ideation.

Meanwhile, today’s headlines from the big 4 MSM outlets:

CBS News- Democratic senators demand answers about conditions aboard USS Abraham Lincoln

ABC News- Democrats demand answers about conditions aboard USS Lincoln

MSNow- 1.) ‘The boat is finally getting to me’: Wife of USS Abraham Lincoln sailor who jumped overboard shares texts

2.) Moldy showers and no soap: Military families are outraged by conditions on USS Lincoln

3.) Scarborough torches Hegseth over USS Abraham Lincoln, says sailors are being treated ‘like trash’

CNN- Sailor went overboard from the USS Abraham Lincoln this month as conditions on the ship prompt lawmakers’ demand for answers

Their narrative is coordinated, and single focused. Trash the competence and readiness of our military. They disgust me.

"The Sailors and Marines of the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group remain resilient and resolved after more than 260 days at sea, 10,000 aircraft flights, and 1.5 million pounds of ordnance expended,” CENTCOM said.

“No service members aboard the aircraft carrier have died, and the one Sailor who fell overboard Aug. 3 was quickly and safely recovered,” the statement continued. “The rampant misreporting on Abraham Lincoln’s historic deployment is a disservice to our men and women in uniform and their loved ones.”

My take on it is that sailors now have instant communications back home. They bitch about conditions (as sailors always do) and get instant sympathy from their loved ones. More complaining leads to more sympathy. (Reward for bad behavior). This cycle continues until some sailors start losing their battle with mental health.

In my 2+ decades of service, I’ve had bad food, limited food, moldy bathrooms, faulty plumbing, no fresh food, no soap available, no A/C in the Middle East, nasty water, shower restrictions, and other maladies that contribute to bad conditions. I’ve seen a few people break down, but most of us bitched about it, then did what we could to make the best of it.

TRUTH! (full disclosure I could copy n paste the entire text of your post I believe in what you said so much) NOT brown-nosing ya just stating facts. I have a theory about this very thing (or a closely related twisted sister). I asked @Mike164 earlier today if he ever heard of the term ‘NPC’ (Non Player Character) This isn’t a joke and some folk’s seem to be taking this quite seriously. An NPC is a being that is ‘down here’ and they resemble um… ‘US’! They walk, talk, hold jobs, grow a family, they do mimic everything we can do except they don’t have a soul. I just realized something this ISN’T about Religion of any kind but the subject seems to be gaining traction. Have you ever heard of it?

It would explain a lot of weird sh!t going on today. Just a few to chew on:

It would explain the ‘TDS’ phenomenon—Bat sh!t crazy is what it is so much so Trump even joked about him Loving the fact that he ‘Breathes Air!’ then the Trans whacks would all hold their breath, Gender dysphoria, Democrat DO NOTHING BRIGADE, and a new one is Aborting ALIVE Babies! This is sick stuff amirite?

If you think about it it really explains a whole bunch of Nasty, Nutty, Bizarre behavior (and the NPC part of it is PEOPLE ACCEPTING FREELY : Tampons in boys bathroom, Cat boxes also, the Legacy Media nonsense—especially Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski! saying some serious stupid stuff and folk’s going —yeah that’s right. WHAT?

The one thing that stands out in what you posted was the LACK of any credible news Source from the Center or Right. All Left wing propaganda. (that the NPC’s appear to be buying it all. MADNESS!

How can these …people say 'No I.D. needed to Vote (and you can vouch for up to 8 friends–who also don’t need I.D. but you do need I.D to shop in a NYC .GOV Grocery----yeah? that’s makes a whole bunch of sense don’t it.)

I worry for this country

It seems like the Main Stream Mafia have nothing left but to FABRICATE NEWS (Doom and Gloom their specialty!)

Just like they are reduced to posting the Left wing wacko’s defacing the WW2 Monument and the Reflecting pool (and bashing Trumps 'Walk of Shame to the West wing where he now has ‘Joey Autopen’ for a Presidential portrait).

The Commie’s would rather see America’s downfall (wishing and hoping daily for it) than do anything POSITIVE for the country.

This WILL BE THEIR END!
