So true!
Gawd, this is unbelievable.
Where are the GOP? They can stop this. All they need to do is impeach the POS and put some responsible Republicans back in charge.

They’re practicing the false flag/ new millennium gulf of Tonkin to blame Iran on. This is the dress rehearsal.

at some point, the question of sabotage has to be raise, no?

Interesting that a PP thinks it could be linked to the fact that the deployment of the ship has been extended multiple times, and may be linked to demoralization.

Wouldn't surprise me. When you're fighting stupid wars for other nations, low morale is inevitable.

There is normally no carrier group deployed to protect Israel. So the navy moves groups out of their deployment area and expands the area each group covers. This puts the groups under additional strain and increases maintenance. It’s a feed back loop.
The US Pacific fleet presence is reduced. This has allowed China a free hand. Keeping Israel safe as it attacks the majority of the Middle East comes with a big price tag.
Big price tag is a massive understatement.

This isn't normal.
What did you think declining standards and imperial over reach would look like?

Yeah, worried this is possible. Could also be psyops attack where they have blackmail material through hacked phones and inducing sabotage.

The Truman has been operating in the Red Sea since last year when it was deployed to help protect commercial ships against near-constant attacks by Houthi rebels in Yemen.
The carrier was slated to come home last month, but Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth extended its deployment while ordering another carrier -- the USS Carl Vinson -- to the region to bolster military power.
Alright that last bit will do it. Being on a Navy ship is horrible, and the Navy has many problems going back multiple administrations, but having your deployment extended is completely demoralizing.

Also I'm not pilot but this reminds me of opening scene in Top Gun --- jet is landing quickly and a wire on the ship stops it.
The jet failing to land on the ship is either due to the pilot on the jet not landing exactly right so that the hook catches on the wire on the ship or the ship moving out of position so that the hook doesn't catch.
