Honestly though (for eb),
Conditions on our aircraft carriers have been bad since we started making them. It's no wonder; they're not built for comfort, which goes on regardless of who's POTUS.
But FFS, we should be able to feed our military.
People, especially young men, can sustain horrid conditions when fed well, rested occasionally, and treated with respect. The German U-boat crews are an example. There are many others.
But not on one of our greatest flagships used to project global power, which has basically allowed Iran to put under a sort of siege.
From a military with a trillion dollar per year budget.
Americans should be mad about this, and many are. Myself included.
Was that honest enough for ya eb?
Nixon,
"There were still Japanese soldiers living in caves in the pacific decades after the war was over and refused to accept that Japan surrendered. They are that level of insane."
After the Japanese lost, they were forced to renounce their Emporer is God.
Iran has a somewhat similar structure in that political and religious authority are intertwined.
The zealotry of Iran's theocratic regime stems partly from its belief that it is acting and fighting in service to Allah.
Unless we can convince them their God is not real (fat chance) Trump has the problem of accomplishing his objectives but leaving their religious beliefs intact.
