This Marine just said what almost nobody else will about the USS Abraham Lincoln:
“They’ve been out to sea for about 250 days… this is the job.”
This guy isn’t minimizing how hard it is. He’s pointing out the selective outrage and media sensationalism.
He served two Westpacs. He knows ship life. And he still picks ship 10 out of 10 over being in country.
Then he drops the real context the media never mentions:
Korea — freezing, living on Tootsie Rolls.
Vietnam — 240 days of jungle combat, 60-80 lb packs, no A/C.
Peleliu 1944 — solid coral, 115°, water in contaminated oil drums.
Fallujah 2004 — 48-72 hour clearance cycles, stripped MREs, 100-125° heat, zero sleep.
Nobody cried then. Now the same media that pushed fake mess-hall photos with concrete cinder blocks (walls that don’t even exist on a Navy ship) is acting like 250 days at sea is unprecedented suffering.
Those photos were never from the Lincoln.
They were used to sell a lie.
Bull’s message is simple: keep your head up, keep PTing, and stop pretending this is somehow unique.
He’s right. And he doesn’t care if you cancel him for saying it.
@HAMILTONG119@JimCosta_ His actions on the field must show it. Yes he was a phenomenal HS player. Coaching last year was a joke. Must prove it on field.
BREAKING: Samuel Nutt charged for allegedly filming a child in a bathroom stall at a mall in Illinois.
Another customer filmed the confrontation and turned it over to police. He still had his pants down when he was confronted!
Absolutely sick
