Comment on Not to arm chair general it. How come the US doesn't get a bunch of helicopters over to the Lincoln with food meds and whatever? How did it get this bad where we can't supply our own ships?

  This is it. Any “rescue” operation would give away that bases in the region-- or at least the base that’s supposed to supply the Lincoln-- are no longer capable of normal operations.

  Now it’s all doubling down on pride, while sailors suffer needlessly.
