Why are sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln attempting suicide?

According to media reports, they’re frustrated and depressed about a lack of fresh food, broken toilets, delays in mail, and lack of basic hygiene items like toothpaste.

In World War II, many soldiers remained on active duty throughout the entire course of the war. Some of them didn’t even have access to indoor plumbing and/or fresh vegetables.

Surely, there must be some other reason why the sailors are jumping off the aircraft carrier into the ocean.

They were coddled as children and have been brought up to think they should have everything given to them and never had a good spanking all they did was play video games
@Prison1203 Being ignored doesn't equal "coddled". And what else do you do but play games when outside isn't safe for kids.

@Prison1203 It's a fake news event. Read below.

Nobody goes from being mentally/psychlogically well, ordered and okay with the world around them to committing suicide in 260 days for the lack of amenities.

There is a huge difference between being at war and whatever you want to call this mess we are in at the moment. When you go to war your entire mind, body and soul undergoes a rather dramatic change and you are prepared to endure rather extreme depravations - the sailors are for all intents and purpose simply not in the mindset to endure what feels likes unnecessary hardships brought on by stupidity.

How many have actually done this? One or two is not statistically significant.
@RedBaron It is when you're talking about a pool of less than 6,000 crew onboard. That would be higher than the suicide rate in the US population.

The report of what you heard or read about the aircraft carrier Lincoln is false a total political scam....

I'm sure that the Charge of the Light Brig'de can be seen through a prism too. I mean that it will all depend on your point of view in the first place. I'm much more of a "lets not get into this kind of situation in the first place" person... yes, even for the military.
Men of today are not the men of yesterday in America - unfortunately
Depends. Is there gaming access?? If not, then that's probably already enough to do it.

when was this?

In World War II, the mission was clear, that mission was communicated and embraced by most in and out of the military, and the Commander-in-Chief, although on the older side and showing signs of sickness was vibrant, coherent, and focused on achieving the mission.

On the USS Abraham Lincoln, the mission is unknown, there is limited communication, if any at all, and the Commander-in-Chief is more interested in seeing his name on monuments to himself than anything else. Oh... and he sleeps through meetings.

@MarkPaul Why is this guy talking to a sex doll and someone who is asleep?

More bullshit from the media. That ship has an 85% re-enlistment rate. Does that sound like a doomsday ship to you?
And for the record, there was only one overboard. There's no evidence he jumped. He was wearing a life jacket. And was rescued within an hour. This is more bullshit without all the facts that the media loves to report.

People of the developed world are incredibly soft and weak-spirited. The fact that this war is pointless only makes it harder.
According to media reports..

That’s all the info I need ..

😑
There are not enough American deaths for the media to scare the people with so this story is being trumped up to generate sympathy and anger.
