I want a horror movie set in a doomed aircraft carrier themed around the death of an Empire.
There’s no way this is true. Seven sailors dead and the only outlet reporting it is an Iranian outlet? How would they obtain this information? I call propaganda.
You think Fox Nuws would report this?
Indian news outlets are reporting it but they all reference one Iranian source. Strange propaganda. Seven is an oddly specific number, but the number killed in a collision with the USS Fitzgerald in 2017.
Trying to find more info on this. Not sure the source is credible, but I also don’t find the navy reporting credible (not that they have made a statement that I can find)
The Navy is also denying reports of suicides off the Lincoln. We won’t know shit until that ship gets back to US.
I’m a bit suspicious that an Iranian media group would be able to report this.
got out of the army because I had no faith in the officer class making rational decisions. no ideas about this story other than to say enlisted ranks don’t kill each other but will kill officers who make bad calls that threaten survival. last i heard navy was backing down to avoid losing an aircraft carrier. long way around africa because Suez canal is now too dangerous. great leadership as per usual. officers are mostly a bunch of college educated yes men, trying to make rank.
Only in the US military would we use the term “college educated” as a pejorative descriptor.
later blue collar jobs, i was despised as ‘book smart’ by supposed high-school grads as lacking hands–on experience. but, I learn fast and out-performed thanks to my book smarts. military gives officers experience in killing troops. not the same
I imagine it’s less to do with the career choice and more to do with the anti-intellectualism that seems to be a feature of American society. If you can scratch your ass under your own volition, the higher ups start getting nervous.
EDIT: this is an Iranian news site, so assume everything they post is disinformation unless any reputable org runs it.
I really hope this is bullshit but aren’t their families saying they’re starving on board?
WTaF!
Is morale and conditions so bad they’re literally killing each other within their own units?
How is this not being blasted across all the media, this is big?
Because of who owns said media.
Yeah I know the answer, it’s just mind-boggling how quickly the media collapsed and became state run.
Still I haven’t seen much of it on msnow, pbs or democracy now…or even across lemmy. One article, this one we’re talking on is first I’ve seen. I caught wind conditions and food was bad but this, killing each other is fucking wild.
The answer is you two just uncritically bought Iranian war propaganda while jerking each other off about media bias.
I wouldn’t say I’ve “bought” into it, I made comment wondering why not any other coverage. I didn’t repost, share or say anything to anyone else irl. I was literally going through the process of sussing it out. Your comment is a reminder even though your reply is clearly demonstrating what an asshole you are.
