Ex-Soldier EXPOSES USS Abraham Lincoln Disaster: 260 Days At Sea Over "Stupid Iran War"

Cross posted from https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/74176210

Anti-war former Army Ranger Greg Stoker breaks down the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group that's been deployed continuously since November 2024, over 260 days at "to support this stupid operation against Iran." Greg discusses the report that a sailor threw himself overboard and the horrible conditions that would make someone do that. He also reacts to Pete Hegseth's jungle-warfare photo-ops in Panama and why the Iran defeat is going to trigger a new South America intervention push.

Buff, proud dog:

at sea for seven years
saw land twice from afar
only eats moldy hardtack
paid two shillings per year
shits over the side of the ship
only entertainment is singing

Sad, whimpy dog:

at sea for 206 days
had two days off on land
has full on cafeteria with multiple options
great pay with benefits, extra for deployment
air conditioned toilets and showers
streaming services and video games

“Amateurs talk strategy. Professionals talk logistics”.

This is what you get when your military is run by someone more fixated on testosterone levels than supply lines.
