Administrația Trump confirmă opt tentative de sinucidere în grupul de desfășurare a portavionului USS Abraham Lincoln, în ultimul an

The Trump administration acknowledged eight suicide attempts among U.S. Navy personnel during the USS Abraham Lincoln's extended deployment, which included combat operations against Iran. The Secretary of the Navy reported these incidents in response to concerns about the mental health of service members. The attempts involved not only the aircraft carrier crew but also personnel from the entire strike group, totaling around 6,000 to 7,000 military members. The deployment lasted nearly nine months, with significant operational pressures contributing to the high number of attempts. Families and Congress members had previously raised alarms about the conditions aboard, including mental health issues and lack of supplies. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand emphasized the seriousness of the situation, contradicting earlier claims by the administration that downplayed the issues.
