🚨🇺🇸 CENTCOM Cmdr. Adm. Brad Cooper is pushing BACK on reports of a mental-health crisis aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln.
After visiting the carrier, Cooper called the crew’s teamwork and resilience “awe-inspiring.”
He says the Lincoln has among the LOWEST number of mental-health cases of any active U.S. aircraft carrier.
He acknowledged long deployments are rough and not for everyone, but praised the ship’s leadership for making mental health a priority.
Recent reporting has indicated deteriorating conditions aboard the ship, including food shortages, plumbing problems, and declining mental health.
So what's the truth?
