If conditions are as bad as they say… Then once back home there’s going to be a lot of vocal seamen.
What is the US government pulls a false flag and scuttles the ship with all the crew.
All of a sudden you’ve got a focal point to rally around, Iran (for example) looks more villainous and the gov has a bunch less angry sailors corroborating stories of what’s going on aboard.
If it weren’t a fucking aircraft carrier, maybe. However, we’ve got so few of them, and we’re struggling with making new ones, that I don’t think that’s going to happen. It’s not that I think Trump cares about the future of America, but someone down the chain probably does, and thinks we need these ships.
For Trump, he’d be the first president to lose a carrier since WWII I believe. He lose so much support from the pro-military side that he probably wouldn’t do it. A smaller more replaceable ship would maybe get this treatment, but not a carrier.
I have no doubt that Miller and others like him in the administration could come up with that idea, but I have serious doubts they could pull it off without leaks.
You know… In my worst moments…
I wonder if this ship will survive.
Just let me get my tinfoil hat for a moment.

Tinfoil hat goes back in the drawer.
Tinfoil hats are for conspiracies, not wishful thinking.

They have done worse, it is not unthinkable. Tinfoil not needed, just a deep reading of history.
I know right
Last 10 things the CIA ADMITTED they did probably was less… Out there
Ugh. I hate this timeline.

From what I’ve learned on Lemmy today, Tin Foil Hats only amplify the government’s signals…
