Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

Sailors suffering a mental health crisis aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln were told by President Donald Trump on Friday they hadn't been stuck on board "nearly long enough." Trump made the remark Friday when a reporter asked whether the deployment had gone on too long. The Lincoln's roughly 5,000 sailors and Marines are nine months into a deployment that was supposed to end in May, with no return date announced. Families of sailors have described moldy showers, broken toilets, weeks without laundry service, and a meal that came to two tortillas and a half-cup of rice. Annabelle Loma told the Military Times her husband had tried to go overboard and was placed on a medical hold.
