These are the people behind the headlines. Thousands of sailors spent months away from their families, operating under combat conditions with few opportunities to get off the ships and recover. Whatever your politics, their mental health and wellbeing matter. 💚
-
And when they get home they won't get the care they need because "F HEALTHCARE!"
-
No nation strengthens its defense by spending its defenders as though they were inexhaustible.
-
Impeach Hegseth! This is yet one more failure of leadership impacting the lives of our soldiers and sailors and their families.
-
Yup, that is exactly what russia's puppet Dirty Diaper Donny Trump is doing. So, yeah white supremacist agenda wins again.
-
This absolutely breaks my heart for those sailors and for their worried families.
-
they're vets, entitled to VA healthcare (possibly dental as well) - any mental health issues or any other medical issue occuring on duty (exacerbated by DoD), during a "war" could and should result in a service connected disability w/free healthcare and a benefit payment every month.
-
This is really, really bleak. We have so much to try and fix. These poor sailors.
-
D
They hate anyone who’s not uber wealthy. I loathe these sociopaths in power so much.
-
Maybe experincing those conditions will make em realize the misery they cause innocent civilians around the world by signing up to be agents of imperialism.
-
My dad was in the Royal Navy when I was a kid. He was deployed for years - so long I can remember the first time I met him. I wonder what is different in the 1960s RN and their mindset / situation to the US now? Probably 100s of things, but I wonder if there are things to learn from that generation.
-
This is the result of putting a part time Fox News host in charge of the Pentagon. The political coward #MikeJohnson shut down congress to stop Hegseth from being impeached.
-
That sounds like a morale problem. Aren’t officers supposed to be in charge of keeping morale up?
-
There always has to be a magat here to troll. It was an extended time to be at sea, without a break. Some of you LD magats need to stfu permanently.
