Not to arm chair general it. How come the US doesn't get a bunch of helicopters over to the Lincoln with food meds and whatever? How did it get this bad where we can't supply our own ships?

Iran severely damaged all of the US military bases in the middle east, the Trump administration just can’t admit how bad it is.

This is it. Any “rescue” operation would give away that bases in the region-- or at least the base that’s supposed to supply the Lincoln-- are no longer capable of normal operations.

Now that it’s exposed, it’s all doubling down on pride, while sailors suffer needlessly and are mocked for it.
