Sailors Attempt Overboard Amid Record USS Lincoln Deployment

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take

This isn't just a morale issue—these are active-duty personnel so desperate they're risking death to escape the ship.

💡 Why it matters

The crisis could erode trust in military leadership and jeopardize retention rates among deployed sailors.

Multiple sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln reportedly attempted to jump overboard as the aircraft carrier nears nine months at sea. President Trump dismissed concerns, saying the deployment is 'not nearly long enough,' while Defense Secretary Hegseth denied reports of deteriorating conditions.
