When I spoke out about the conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, my inbox got flooded from service members and their families. The Guard and Reserve were built to be the force that you call up when the nation truly needs it. That is not what’s happening in the war with Iran. (Link below)

I remember crying hysterically one Memorial Day, watching a segment on a White House celebration on tv. A young marine being cared for by his mother and sister because the VA did not have funding for his home care, coming home with a severe brain injury when half of his scull was blown away in Iraq

I felt that same sick feeling when i found out that the loved ones of military families were in dire straits- not recieving supplies and NO ONE REPORTING ON IT. The Department Of DUMMIES sweeping it under the rug while Pete Hegseth got a manicure and silver highlights added to his hair. INFURIATING!

The legislature has THE POWER to write laws protecting military personel, VETERANS, and regulations about their pay and benefits. If the government had any intention of doing right by these people, what they DO wouldn't be a secret. THEY WOULD BROADCAST IT LIKE THEY WON A PRIZE.

Thank you for being a loud voice for all decent Americans. Please consider running for office again. We the people need representatives that are actually going to work for us and not just the elites and corporations.

Trump is using our military as a pawn. It doesn’t care or respect anyone who is in the military. Remember, Trump considers anyone in the military losers. In fact, he considers those who die or get injured while in the military even bigger losers. That’s from his own mouth. 

Rep K: the irony of all of this is a five time draft dodging liar, a failed NG officer and a junior enlisted PR marine (Trump, Hegseth and vance) are vomiting their lies to America. Roughly 3%of Americans serve or have served and these pathetic losers seem to think they know better.

The real danger is retention. You can screw these people all you want now, but most will leave rather than put up with this crap. Overextended deployments with no plan and no end in sight. That’s when our military starts to break. And these two assholes will then try to bring back the draft.

The orange coward private bone spur, and his boy kegsbreath, should both be held to charge for being UNFIT FOR DUTY, and the commission of war crimes. I am disgusted by them all In this administration .

It’s heartbreaking and an absolute disgrace our service members are not being better cared for when it’s within our means to do so. They give everything and we can’t even feed them?

Just like Iraq the Republicans think the military is their, own private corporate fighting force. Hello! We invaded a country to steal their oil. Republicans can't govern without a war being waged. They have no other answer to the economy! God forbid the rich pay a few more dollars!

Sir, please address the pay disparity between their civilian pay and military pay. Members of the reserve/guard are not earning anything close to what they are paid in the civilian world. Not only do they miss life events , they can lose everything if they miss civilian paychecks for too long

Adam, the Navy has a long-standing serious problem of absuing their crews with overwork. Mr. Nichols, the Navy professor, he heard it from a generation of officer students. Then layer unending wartime duty on top of that. The Navy needs a rotation, yes, but it would be only a beginning.

Where's the news coverage of these service members' arrival. It used to be our news agencies covered everything. Now they're afraid of retribution & only cover certain things. Let's hear from our service members. Hegseth is in over his head. He's an egotistical pseudo macho man.

The USN as of December 2025, reported a shortage of24,000 enlistees Effectively, there has been a long term shortage in recruitment. With Trump & Hegseth using the navy as a floating "random policy enforcer* absent a functional policy or goal - the military is on eternal Operation Chaos

While I agree with the general sentiment from MAGA that our troops should be able to endure tough conditions, that doesn't excuse putting tough conditions on our troops when it can be avoided.

Just part of the stupidity of the past year and a half and probably the next two years and a half. I can only hope that 20 years down the road, people will look back at the Trump years and ask what America was thinking. My fear is that 20 years down the road, people will find it fine.

This is a war that shouldn't have happened. Trump started it to enrich himself and distract from the Epstein files. There is absolutely no reason for them to "tough it out."

You're missing the point. US, the entire West is being downgraded on purpose. Done by Zionists. The last 30/40yrs of abuse needs fixing: 1. Declare Zionism a terrorists organization. 2. Remove the last 20yrs of immigration. 3. Support a mass Citizen population growth. Otherwise the Republic is dead

Oh, the crying Adam Kinzinger. The man who sided with the Capitol Police who cried big crocodile tears during their testimony about Jan. 6. Perjury all they way. Not to mention not very manly. A woman was killed that day, Ashley Babbit. They didn't cry about human life. A real actor.

KRUSCHEV SAID HE WOULD DESTROY AMERICA FROM WITHIN BACK IN 1957 HE NEVER LIVED 2 C THAT DREAM COME TRUE BUT PUTIN VOWED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN..BUT HOW?..THEN HE MET TRAITOR WANNABEE TRUMP& GAME ON...NEVER FORGET NEVER FORGIVE ANY MAGA SYCOPHANTS...VOTE WISELY IN NOVEMBER AMERICA 🇺🇸 VOTE WISELY AMERICA 🇺🇸

WHAT AMERICANS WANT2 KNOW IS AFTER DECADES OF MILITARY BUDGET BEING BILLIONS OF$$$ HOW TF DO WE RUN OUT OF MUNITIONS IN ONLY 5 MONTHS HOW TF DO WE RUN OUT OF MUNITIONS...WHO HAS POCKETED ALL THAT TAXPAYER $$$...NOW THEY WANT A TRILLION+AMERICAS THOUGHT WE STOCKPILE OUR MUNITIONS & ROTATE OLD FOR NEW

Is the captain of the USS Abraham Lincoln a Trumper? He was interviewed by MSM and said that things weren’t that bad and seemed to brush off all of the concerns

So let me get this straight: a draft-dodging criminal rich kid becomes president again after completely fucking up the country the first time and hires a talking head from Fox News to run our military. And our military overwhelmingly voted for this and, if we redid the election, would do it again.

#Trump, America’s #ChaosAgent turns our nation into a fallen empire. 🇺🇸 #YoureFired #EndlessOilWars Lincoln's hull was seen covered in rust due to prolonged exposure and now looks like a rusty old Russian ship!

And what can the American people do about this? Nothing! Our representatives have failed us. Our only hope is to replace them in November. If we don't, it's all over for the great American experiment in self-governance. Vote! Do whatever you have to do, but don't let them stop you from voting!

The thing is Adam the days of American bullying are almost coming to the end first its Iran, then Cuba, then Russia and China then BRICS they will all stand up to bully and show what resistance means. I know it stings but facts sting brother.

Did you speak out when children were being irreparably emotionally harmed by being separated from their parents at the border during his first term? Was your inbox flooded during that time? Probably not, because the victims had no access. What a privilege to be so selectively empathetic.

It will only get worse. Trump and Hesgeth were never fit for office, utterly unqualified for their jobs and care not a whit about the wellbeing of military personnel, or their families. They've made that quite clear, repeatedly.

Dems really should be moving to impeach Hegseth and Trump for raiding the payroll accounts, causing the active duty troops to have to worry whether they will get their next paycheck.

Sorry but he’s a coward too because Donny boy would have been picking up all his teeth off the fucking ground if he did it in front of me. Mfer🤬

The Guard and Reserves are the very reason we can function with a less expensive All Volunteer Standing Military. And, I suspect, the current administration would like to end that. Military service will be the ONLY job in the future... to serve the oligarchs will be how the servant class will live.

OMG, Mr. Kissinger. The Guard and Reserve were moved into 'regular forces' by for Operation Desert Storm; then Afghanistan; then The Iraq War- the reason was presidents didn't want the backlash that happened with the Draft in the 60s. The stateside forces were determined to already be 'in The Army'.

I am hoping the military members that are so forgotten in this administration remember this in November. This is not about party, it is about decency and humanity. My father was a Captain in the air force and flew 37 missions over Italy in WWII. This is not what he fought for.

Allowing the USS Abraham Lincoln deteriorate into a rust bucket as it was tugged into Thailand sure didn’t leave an impression of naval success/strength/dominance on any level.

It’s not our war, it’s trump’s war! He is a megalomaniac seeking world recognition. How did the American people get here? We’re being lead by a petulant child whose IQ is the same as his age. 😏

Oh so I was giving him more credit for intellect than he is due. That level puts him in a whole different category moves him from slow to 🙄 (idiot).

Maintenance of $6B aircraft carriers keeps our servicemen safe and prevents the expense and reduction in security the world faces when we're forced to retreat. Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are MORONIC CRIMINALS who couldn't win the war with Iran and NEVER should be allowed near the reins of power.

Kegsbreathe is a despicable clown I’d like to beat his ass for how he’s treating our service members mfer 🤬✊🏻✌🏻

And don't they only get like partial pay being in the reserves? If they have an hourly paid job and they are not at work they don't get paid there either?

The mismanagement by Trump and Hegseth completely ruined the system of rotational ship deployments. This resulted in the aircraft carrier *USS Lincoln* remaining at sea for nine months, with sailors living in harsh conditions and even exhibiting signs of mass depression and suicidal tendencies.

When I watch what the National Guard is doing in cities in the U.S., I can only conclude that everyone in it is a scumbag. We cannot trust anyone in the National Guard.

Troops that don’t speak out against the illegality of this war are partly responsible for the destruction of our constitution. I know it’s got to be difficult, but it wouldn’t be if they all stood up.

Honestly the military should start refusing this administration a bit more That and stand trial for obvious crimes Shame it'll never happen

and the war in Iran is happening to keep our attention OFF the Epstein files and dumbfuck out of prison...a poor excuse for the cost, both monetarily and loss of life

never thought rust bucket would apply to anything in our military. one look at the USS Abraham Lincoln says it all. now I can imagine why so many of our choppers and planes have accidents too, because they are probably in GOP disrepair.

Despite currently mishandling(or losing) a war with 🇮🇷, that explains why Kegsbreath had time to be scoping out what Canadian teenaged civilian cadets were up to for the summer. He was desperately trying to find some recruits.

Please stop calling it The War, do you want U.S. responsible for the loss of life, financial devastation ? No. It is Trump and only Trump. It was HIS attack with Hegseth his hired gun. No Congress. No People. Let this world deal with HIM as they will. Because we the people are fighting him

Thank you for being an honorable man, standing up for the folks in the military without kowtowing to the corrupt lunatics currently running the military.

To Trump, all of us--including the troops--are mere cardboard cutouts to be moved around in whatever way advantages him. He is incapable of thinking of the welfare of anyone but himself. #PutACheckOnTrump #VoteRepublicansOUT

It’s disrespectful to our soldiers and the memory of one of our greatest presidents, Pres. Lincoln to see a rusted out aircraft carrier pull into Thailand. Hedgehog & Humpty Trumpty can’t take care of US soldiers or their ships.Maybe soldiers can take a tour of how well they’ve been living it up.

The VP said it’s not a war today so there’s that too. How disgraceful to say this when those that serve have been killed, injured and put through hell fighting this WAR 😤😽

Hegseth and his mismanagement have wrecked Ship deployment rotations. These worn-out Sailors are going to return (and believe me), they are going to get some tiny respite, and then are going to be asked to return right back where they started. Hegseth has fouled this thing up BIG TIME!

They are the embodiment of the 2nd amendment, ticking every box it stipulated, if read, literally and plainly free from deceit. "Free from Deceit" is an unwritten liberty, by the way, ignored by tyrants.

MAGA: The military is supposed to be used for wars of religious bigotry. How else will JD help destroy the world....in Jesus name, Amen?
