There are what, 5200 people on the Abe? I'm sure 3000 of them honestly believed their recruiter, that they'd get shore duty in Hawaii for their whole enlistment.
ETA: where is all the bitching from every other sailor in the battle group?

That was clearly all written by the same person. And it's not even an active aircraft, it's sitting somewhere on concrete covered in dust. My guess would be a boneyard some kid(s) snuck into in the US, as evidenced by the tic tac toe games.

Either way an aircraft doesn't just sit on pavement with its flaps down and door missing, and get covered in dust if it's still in use.

Been to Syria for what seemed largely pointless. I get the sentiment.

Still, that commander has to lock this shite down. It doesn't help anyone to lack good order and discipline.

We all have, but at the end of the day the military is supposed to be A-political! We are suppose to serve where the CIC sends us whether we agree with the mission or not.

No more than the U.S. military is now building our aircraft carriers out of cinder blocks.

The Left’s latest freakout over the USS Abraham Lincoln is one of the purest windows yet into the soft, entitled, and deeply unserious mind of the American left.

They genuinely seem to believe an aircraft carrier should operate like a Royal Caribbean cruise ship.

Cold showers? Temporary shortage of fresh fruit? The usual bitching from the lower decks that has existed since the first trireme left port?

Call the New York Times! This is a national crisis that must be shouted from the rooftops!

Any honest veteran watching this synchronized event wants to vomit.

But nothing better captures the pure intellectual bankruptcy of the entire narrative than the photo that has been passed around by millions of people the last few days.

The one they insist shows the “appalling” conditions on the Lincoln.

Look at it. Those are cinder-block walls.

Cinder. Block. Walls.

There are no cinder-block walls on U.S. Navy warships. Not on carriers. Not on anything that is designed to fight, absorb battle damage, and stay afloat.

Ships are built of steel bulkheads for reasons that involve weight, strength, fire, flooding, and basic physics. Any sailor, any shipyard worker, any halfway competent adult who has ever set foot on a gray hull knows this obvious truth..

Yet the photo was shared, celebrated, and weaponized by media figures, Democrat politicians, and even some Democrat veterans who should know better, without a single one of them stopping to ask the most elementary question: “Hey… aren’t those cinder blocks?”

This Lincoln episode was never about conditions aboard ship. It was always about the mean-spirited compulsion to tarnish the military and everything American, even when the “evidence” is so stupid it would embarrass a middle-school shop class.

That is who they are. That is the level of seriousness they bring to the arena
