The USS Abraham Lincoln must return home. 🇺🇸

The conditions our service members are enduring are unacceptable, and the length of deployment has exceeded safe limits. I am very concerned about the U.S. 5th Fleet ships, especially the strike group (DDG-121, DDG-111, DDG-112) escorting CVN-72, which have been on the same extended mission.

This is not how our sailors should be treated. Their safety and health should be a top priority. They have been at sea over 250 days, far exceeding the planned 7-month deployment.

Families of 5,000 sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln confronted U.S. Navy Secretary Hung Cao over alleged food shortages, contaminated water and crew exhaustion, MS NOW reports.

[Senator Ruben Gallego @SenRubenGallego]

I’m seeking an official oversight visit with a bipartisan Senate Delegation to the USS Lincoln to investigate the reported alarming conditions.

Unlike Donald Trump, I've seen active duty. The way he's treating our service members as he carries out this illegal war is not just disgusting; it’s dangerous. These sailors are owed a sense of when they will go home.

The stories of crew members threatening to jump off the ship are a frightening alarm bell as to how bad the situation has become: moldy showers, sporadic hot water, rationed meals and soap, broken toilets, and grueling 12- to 16-hour shifts with no days off.

Congress must do its duty to provide oversight and hold the administration accountable for these actions.

EXCLUSIVE: A family member of a service member currently deployed aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln shared messages with MeidasTouch detailing months without milk, meat arriving rotten, and a deployment with no end in sight. https://t.co/ZILR26JTbL

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

The Trump Admin must explain what they are doing to support sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln who have been continuously at sea for nearly 7 months. Widespread reports of supply shortages, plumbing issues, deteriorating mental health & more demand immediate attention.

SHOCK REPORT: Desperate sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln have tried to jump overboard amid an extended Middle East deployment, as families sound the alarm over severe mental health struggles, exhaustion, food shortages, water contamination, and deteriorating conditions aboard the carrier, per Military Times. https://t.co/UT6oRBqnLw

@sentdefender My heart breaks further.

My heart is with you as you mourn.

Spirits of the Dead

Edgar Allan Poe
1809 – 1849

Thy soul shall find itself alone
'Mid dark thoughts of the grey tomb-stone;
Not one, of all the crowd, to pry
Into thine hour of secrecy.
Be silent in that solitude,
Which is not loneliness — for then
The spirits of the dead, who stood
In life before thee, are again
In death around thee, and their will
Shall overshadow thee; be still.
The night, though clear, shall frown,
And the stars shall not look down
From their high thrones in the Heaven
With light like hope to mortals given,
But their red orbs, without beam,
To thy weariness shall seem
As a burning and a fever
Which would cling to thee for ever.
Now are thoughts thou shalt not banish,
Now are visions ne'er to vanish;
From thy spirit shall they pass
No more, like dew-drop from the grass.
The breeze, the breath of God, is still,
And the mist upon the hill
Shadowy, shadowy, yet unbroken,
Is a symbol and a token.
How it hangs upon the trees,
A mystery of mysteries!

That moment when information silence played an important role. While russian generals were only drawing everything up in their reports, our Armed Forces were quietly getting the job done 🤟

“The Navy is preparing the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group to relieve Lincoln, Cao told families at the San Diego meeting. Officials have not provided a timeline, however, citing operational security.”

@SECNAV, I hope that for the 5,000 souls on board who are struggling intensely, you relieve them as soon as possible.

All the memes & ai videos (FROM TRUMP) of him leading the charge, fighting with our founding fathers, & riding lions.

And in real life the pussy hides in a catering truck while leaving everyone else to die.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

What Europe accepts in Russian (N Korean, Chinese) invasion, terrorism, sabotage, and murder is very bad, of course. But it’s even worse as an indicator of what more they would accept before doing anything about it, because that’s what Putin thinks about.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Another murder of an innocent young person in Iran and another day of deafening silence by the mainstream Western media. Actually, not a complete silence -- there is the sound of outlets practically cheering Iranian success in the Trump's botched war. Don't do this. Don't let your dislike of Trump or the war blind you to the dangers and horrors of the Islamic Republic's terrorist regime.

USS Abraham Lincoln families press Navy leaders over sailors’ mental health.

Excerpts from the Stars and Stripes Article:

"It's getting very, very hard to see that happening to your (sailor)," one spouse said about the lack of port calls, mail service and other needed support for service members aboard the ship. "I'm just actively watching my (sailor) kind of break down, like they're losing hope and everything"

"My son is currently on that ship and listening to him say that he and his shipmates constantly think about jumping off the ship just for relief is so hard to listen to," one worried parent wrote to Stars and Stripes in July. "We are all tucked in at night in our beds at night meanwhile our loved ones are out there fighting with no understanding as to what they're defending."

Sailors aboard Lincoln separately described an incident in which a crew member was prevented from jumping from the ship.

"We already had an instance where watch standers had to stop someone from jumping," one sailor said.

Family members and sailors say the roughly 5,000 service members aboard Lincoln have endured food and water shortages, disrupted mail service and long workdays with little time off.

Lincoln has gone much of the deployment without the regular port calls that typically give carrier crews a break from life at sea.
Carriers generally pull into a port every 30 to 45 days to allow for replenishment, maintenance and crew rest.

The uncertainty over when a deployment will end can take a significant toll on sailors, said Thomas Nutzmann, a retired Navy chief petty officer who served 20 years and deployed four times.

'There's no Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, it's just a day," Nutzmann said of being at sea for long stretches. "You try to maintain optimism to the best of your ability. The problem is when you're out to sea for so long, you can only do so much to keep morale up before you hit a stalemate ... and that's where the deterioration is."
