U.S. sailors are freaking out off the coast of Iran—literally: “I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow,” write the terrified sailors as they lose their minds. What happened? A nine-month voyage to the shores of Iran.

Well, we’ve actually finished fighting. The crew of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln is freaking out. “I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow,” say the terrified sailors; some are trying to jump overboard. So what happened, you ask? It’s just a mission off the coast of Iran that’s already been dragging on for nine months.

The sailors’ wives have panicked. “I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow,” a sailor from the aircraft carrier messaged his wife via instant messaging. So many such messages from the crew have come in that the information has already leaked to the press. The situation aboard the Abraham Lincoln was reported not only by specialized military publications such as *Navy Times* and *Stars and Stripes*, but also by the British newspaper *The Guardian*

“*Navy Times* reported details of thwarted suicide attempts aboard the aircraft carrier during its current deployment. Annabelle Loma told the publication that her husband attempted to jump overboard after the deployment was repeatedly extended. ‘He’s scared. He’s scared he’ll be dishonorably discharged, and that because he’s simply burned out, his 13-year career is ruined—and that’s it, just like that,’ she said. The publication also quotes the wife of another sailor who was involved in a separate incident on the USS Abraham Lincoln: her husband prevented a fellow sailor from jumping overboard by grabbing him and bringing him back on deck.

The situation is further exacerbated by various so-called “internal problems” within the U.S. Navy. In connection with these “internal problems,” Congressman Mike Levin has expressed his outrage on social media: the toilets on the aircraft carrier are broken, the showers are moldy, the laundry room isn’t working, and to top it all off, they’ve run out of soap, toothpaste, and deodorant. They don’t even serve hot meals every day.
Maybe some of this is due to people enlisting as a way to go to school, see the world, meet a lot of men -now finding themselves in a war.
As long as he can do the bidding of Israel, Trump really doesn't care about the sailors.
Once again. I agree. But you left out money he can't seem to get enough of.
When they joined the Navy what did they expect?
They expected to be treated like human beings who were told they were going to defend our country.
They didn't sign up for their own government to torture them, starve them and forget them.
Iran is not doing a thing to them. But your government is. But i guess you are a trump supporting fanatic who rather blame our men and women, our children our neighbors, sons and daughters for his crimes once again.
1. I did not vote for Donald Trump
2. I am a former Naval Officer
3. The crews of US Naval vessels or not being starved or tortured
It's much worse than those things. I just posted a video of a message Larry Johnson received from a newly retired Officer friend of his. He read it out for all to hear.
