Comandantul SUA, după vizita pe USS Lincoln: Sănătatea mintală este „o prioritate”

The highest-ranking U.S. military commander in the Middle East emphasized mental health as a priority aboard the USS Lincoln amid concerns over sailors' well-being. Admiral Brad Cooper noted the ship has low mental health case numbers but acknowledged the unique challenges of long deployments. The USS Lincoln has been on a record mission since January, supporting U.S. operations against Iran. Family members have raised alarms about deteriorating mental health conditions, with reports of sailors attempting to jump overboard. Despite acknowledging supply issues, the Navy denied a mental health crisis aboard the ship, which has faced sanitation problems and limited port visits. Thirteen Senate Democrats criticized the mission's duration, while President Trump dismissed claims of prolonged deployments.
