Donald Trump on Friday downplayed the toll on American sailors enduring nearly nine months at sea on the USS Abraham Lincoln as concerns escalated about mental health and supply issues aboard the aircraft carrier supporting U.S. operations against Iran.
In a brief exchange with reporters before flying to New York for an event to highlight falling violent crime rates across the U.S., Trump refuted that family members have raised concerns about the deployment’s length and even said that the deployment — which includes a record-setting uninterrupted time at sea of more than 240 days — is “not nearly long enough.”
Don’t really feel sorry for anyone willing to fight in wars…
Dont forget that the poverty is by design.
Entire states are pushed into poverty and shit education to feed the US military machine.
That’s not an excuse to sign up to be in the military.
Stop the bullshit.
Yes the system is built to proliferate poverty and wage slavery.
That doesn’t mean becoming a soldier for the most corrupt nation and government is their only choice. Fuck that lie.
Not the only, but a very attractive one. You don’t need any tools or skills, they will pay for all your relocation, training, food, housing, and you get the TSP and GI Bill.
If it wasn’t for the whole war thing, it’d be damn near a fairly good implementation of socialism.
