🇮🇷 🇺🇸 | A sailor who jumped from the USS Abraham Lincoln is now facing disciplinary action from the US Navy, according to his wife, who spoke to MS NOW.
"I think they're insane for doing this to people who need mental help," she said.
Multiple reports have revealed that sailors aboard the USS Lincoln, currently deployed in the war against Iran, have made repeated attempts to jump overboard.
The carrier, once touted as "one of the greatest US war machines," is in the midst of a record-setting deployment. Morale and mental health concerns are mounting among its crew as President Trump's military campaign against Iran drags on with no resolution in sight.
Crew members have decried squalid conditions on board, from mould-ridden showers and overflowing sewage to shortages of food and hygiene products. One family member said their son described seeing “holes that have worn through the Lincoln’s flight deck.”
The Navy's handling of sailors grappling with mental health struggles has drawn mounting outrage. According to the US Department of War's latest report, 471 service members died by su***** in 2024.
The toll of US casualties in the war against Iran has also reportedly been undercounted. The military recently disclosed that an additional 60 service members had been wounded, raising the official count to 776 troops killed or wounded, 345 of them since a second ceasefire collapsed on July 7.
