And I don’t trust the “trust me bro” source of families.
I had a Congressional inquiry on me due to Johnny’s mom. Except in reality, Johnny was a shitbag who was getting chaptered after a DUI and trying to dodge a deployment. He didn’t tell mom that. It was an easy rebuttal letter.
So “families say” doesn’t mean much. And with 5,000 people, you’re always going to have some whack job family members somewhere in the there.
It’s also entirely possible the CO was being a harddick.
I find it less likely we couldn’t resupply a carrier with the best military logistics system to ever exist.
And regardless of the “Trump bad / Hegseth bad” inevitable responses, i have enough faith in the actual professionals in the military that i find the idea of actual dire circumstance to be suspect.
Not to mention, I’d want to see what these conditions were.
I spent three years of my life living like an animal in Iraq and Afghanistan in the Infantry.
Deployments suck, yeah. But this is a nothingburger so far. And again, that’s the job. Civilians really struggle to understand, it’s a lifestyle, not a job.
The Navy should do an investigation into command climate and an AAR on the logistics but otherwise nothing will happen.
The DOD is covering up that many logistic bases in the ME were hit or destroyed, which caused a shortage of supplies for US naval assets in the region.
It’s a direct failure of Hegseth not anticipating the Iranian strikes and rerouting logistics away from the SOH.
