Trump would say that they deserve to be mocked as losers and suckers.

...still trying to figure why in 1991, Clarence Thomas referred to his confirmation hearing as a "high-tech lynching" yet some thirty years later, Justice Thomas turns a blind eye to the lynch mob that attacked Capitol police officers with his wife's assistance ✚ her blessing ~🤨~ isn't that curious?

Maybe if they'd been drafted, but this is a volunteer force. They are little more than mercenaries.

Terrorists should be imprisoned.

I’m so glad someone is saying this. Having liberal Bluesky acting like prisoners of war were released, all while making disgusting jokes about the sex workers of the island is just gross. I hope our sisters there stay safe and unharmed, but considering that’s the US Military we’re talking about…

No they don't. They're blowing shit up for a bunch of fascists and making the world worse every day. No. Absolutely not. What the hell?

Petition to rename San Andreas fault to Trumps fault -- change.org/trumpsfault

for what? taking part in Operation Epstein's Fury? fuck no they deserve to lose their jobs along with everyone else that took part in this atrocity. yankee go the fuck home

I think a lot went wrong

And I hope they've treated every single sailor for STIs.

So they shut down the whorehouses?🙄

I hope San Diegans bring fresh food and water to these sailors TrumpHegseth lost at sea.

And the truth about their actual conditions!

fuck the troops

I'm afraid Trump is merely going to send them right back into action after the ship is restocked. Why? Because a) to him everyone and everything is disposable, and b) he feels they were disrespectful little North Koreans by protesting against the conditions.

As a boy, I waited dockside twice as my old man's warship returned from 6-month deployments off the coast of Vietnam. They were emotional moments between the crew and their loved ones. The last thing we would have wanted then was to share our tears with a crowd of civilian looky-loos.

Everything and think of all the blackmail material they will collect to keep them quiet.

WTAF They actually deserve to be in prison for participating in an illegal war and carrying out illegal orders. DISGUSTING. Killing women and children. ZERO honor. Giving the orders = evil Following the orders, also evil 😑

🫡

Cruel to the Thai sex workers im sure.

Yeah, packed with people who have signs that say "why did you vote for Trump and Republican fascists, you f*cking idiots. Don't make that mistake again."

They will be remembered for playing a role in Trumps terror! It’s fked up they were stuck on the ship, but they didn’t refuse to follow their commanders illegal orders! They had a choice! The orange terrorists and his clan need the fullest punishment known to man! Period! #takeAmericaBack

How nice. Thailand is widely considered one of the primary global hubs for the commercial sex industry and sex tourism, particularly in Southeast Asia. Figures they’d be sent there by the dumpsters admin.

It's a setup. The women and children hopefully are protected. Its all intentional.

Be careful out there, sailors!

Makes sense. Thanks.

Do they all have to sign NDAs to get off the boat?

Pretty sure they losing despite all the warcrimes. Dont sound very heroic

They deserve a competent Commander-in-Chief!

let`s hope there are a few who are willing to give the unredacted feedback on all aspects of how ill prepared and treated they were

You can count on it!

The Navy is pretty good at that. But it could cost you a stripe.

Yes well they'll come home with the clap after this totally appropriate shore leave.

🙏👍🤞

Heroes don't follow illegal orders. They are scum.

Double pay for extreme duty service is a great place to start!

Imagine the sheer psychological horror of realizing you’ve spent 286 days in a floating city where the only "new" scenery is a different shade of blue. That’s not a deployment; that’s a maritime social experiment.

'Pattaya is know for its party atmosphere'?? Pattaya is the global epicentre of hookers and STDs. You have been warned.

hey a bunch of emaciated terrorists who followed illegal orders from a convicted felon, pathetically limped away from a fight they started. big whoop.

Oh yes lol

I love those sailors. Guys, put that rubber on.

How many of them defect as soon as their feet touch land you think?

What do Americans think should be done with these folks? Perhaps the lower ranks should be excused but they participated in an illegal war at the direction of a criminal occupying the Executive. We cannot have a lawless military.

Ladyboys gonna have a payday!

What's the over/under that Kegsbreath himself shows up for the drunkenness and STDs.

Ya know they will face the rath of the CORRUPTOR IN CHIEF for showing him and his hired scum in a bad light.

Here come the STDs….lol

Poor souls. How many recruited right out of high school?

That ship looks in terrible shape. These sailors should be flown home from Thailand.

How many voted for Trump - most likely over 65%

The Iranian people have no reprieve.

Sad

Those sailors will literally jump ashore and kiss the ground with relief.

Wonderful. I thought they were expected to be re-deployed.

You get 'em quick. I wobbled for sure when I got off on my first ever port visit, but that was the only time. And that was on a frigate, which gets flung around loads more than an aircraft carrier.

Too tired of bombing girls’ schools and wedding ceremonies, or just taking a few days off?

Yes they do

more of them would've been alive if they hadn't participated in Operation Child Murder

Imagine joining the US military 😭😂

Their commander in chief feels they didn't suffer enough. Even if the war or some of the sorties were conducted illegally, I don't blame enlisted people who work in the engine rooms, or on aircraft maintenance, etc, for the fact that their ship was sent there for Epstein Distraction.

They didn't deserve to be sent there and I commend them for surviving without adequate resources but I am not grateful to them for following illegal orders

Don't call them heroes though... Nothing heroic about murdering kids and civilians...

This

How many will go AWOL?

Will the admin..er…Navy even let people down there?

I'm surprised that boat still floats. It is a RUST BUCKET!

Ah, the delicious irony of Secretary Kegsbreath sending them to one of the centers for ladyboys in all of the world for some R & R before coming home is really something. #ProtectTheDolls

That boat looks worse than some boats that were destroyed to make reefs.No wonder nothing mechanical worked.Shouldn't be taken to sea until it's shiny again. Slap DonOld's name on in its current condition.He'll be down there super gluing gold doodads all over it.Will keep him busy for about 2 years

Sailors should be given the chance to fly home instead of boarding the ship again.

They deserve a hell of a lot more than that! They deserve to see Hegseth and Trump in Leavenworth!

I'm not so sure about that first line, but I'm glad they're finally on land for a bit. I'm also kinda wondering how many of them will "go missing" in Pattaya.

Well, there is that little issue about following illegal orders, so count me out.

"relief" is one way to describe it.🧜⚓

I'm happy for them and their families that they safely returned. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the women and children that were killed or maimed in the useless military exercise.

To give anybody any kind of hero status for participating in this soulless, military exercise is in a sense condoning it. No part of this was right. No part of this constituted defense of this country. It's a murderous oil grab. Treating them as heroes dehumanizes the people needlessly killed.

The military is a choice. Anybody that does so nowadays has to realize that they may have to get into another oil war and kill innocent people just to make corps richer. Nothing to do with the defense of this country. So do it for money and don't complain about how you are received when you get back

I'm just curious how people that are blowing up other people for no good reason are entitled to a hero's welcome? I would agree they deserve a hero's welcome if they had refused participation in Trump's meaningless military exercise. Even renamed, it's still supposed to be the department of defense

they didn't do anything heroic

Well some good news they are coming home. Fantastic! 🇺🇸

They deserve warm greetings and our love and support, but prosecuting an illegal war of choice against someone who poses no threat to our country doesn’t make them “heroic.” It makes them tragic pawns carelessly abused by a war criminal, NOT heroes.

There are a number of live Webcams covering San Diego, so people will be able to watch live from all across the country.

I empathize but I wouldn't call them heroes, they could have disobeyed orders according to The Constitution. So, I'm conflicted On 1 hand....happy they are back On 2nd hand....not happy that they participated in this quagmire.

They don't deserve a hero's welcome! What did they do? The turned circles in the ocean, launched a dirty sneak attack on Iran and killed civilians. They are not heroes.

FDT

Thank goodness.

Outside the US, sailors involved in continued US aggressive militarism are unlikely to be hailed as heroes anywhere they dock.

My guy friend work for the company that makes furniture and equipment that goes on these ships. This one may go on the list.

Why should anyone welcome a crew that brings so much destruction, assault, and violence to another country and its people, thousands of miles away?

🤣🤣🤣

Will no one think of the poor sex industry workers 🤯🤯 They'll need a good long rest after this 🤯😆

What’s exactly is heroic about silently obeying illegal orders and sailing off to an illegal war that, in itself, is a war crime? Do you even have a brain left? Way too many Americans giving North Koreans a run for their money.

Wonder how many accidentally show up at the airport......

They should get real jobs

Pattaya is a beautiful place to take a break. They deserve every moment of fun and relaxation. I am so happy they will get to spend a few days there.

This is wonderful news.

And look at the condition of that carrier . . . all for worse than nothing.

Thailand. Relief on call.

appears like a rusted busted old aircraft carrier certainly not an Amerikan ship ... no our Navy would never allow that to happen ... uh oh and whoopsies ... did I ever get that wrong ... 🤨

Use a condom boys!

It's going to be rampant culinary and 'other' excesses ! Or so, I hear.

ps. sex workers greet US soldiers. Sad reality.

A much-deserved rest... Thank you USS Lincoln crew - safe trip home. 🇺🇸
