Take her word for it\u2026(with a scoop of ice cream).\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The same segment was recycled on Saturday in response to Washington Post journalist Dan Lamothe, who had hit back against the Pentagon\u2019s claims that the media wasn\u2019t accurately reporting on conditions aboard the ship. The account responded by reposting the segment, writing: \u201cPamela Brown from CNN was actually embedded aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln just a month ago\u2014and they even ate ice cream while visiting the ship!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The sailors on board the <i>Lincoln<\/i> went out to sea thinking their deployment would last for seven months before they were sent to fight in the Iran war, which President Donald Trump, 80, initially said would last four to six weeks. <\/p>\n<p>Conditions aboard the aircraft carrier have reportedly deteriorated as the 5,000 sailors and Marines on board enter the ninth month of their deployment, with no end in sight to the president\u2019s war.<\/p>\n<p>Sailors aboard the carrier and their families have described deteriorating conditions, with MS NOW reporting moldy showers, food shortages, sailors running out of toothpaste, deodorant and soap, and worsening mental health issues.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5460\">Why Trump\u2019s Weird Fixations Are Exploding Now<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Family members have raised the alarm that several sailors went or attempted to go overboard in apparent suicide attempts. <\/p>\n<p>The Defense Department\u2019s \u201cice cream\u201d defense comes as Trump himself has dismissed family members\u2019 concerns about conditions aboard the ship. <\/p>\n<p>Asked whether families were concerned, the president flatly replied, \u201cNo, they\u2019re not.\u201d As for whether the deployment had gone on too long given the potential mental health risks to sailors, Trump again brushed off the concern, saying, \u201cNo, no, no. Not nearly long enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The wife of a sailor aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln called out the president shortly after he made the comments, telling CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper that Trump should show more \u201csympathy\u201d and \u201caccountability\u201d for the service members stuck at sea.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think the man thinks before he talks,\u201d she said in a phone interview Friday.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Others in the administration have followed their boss\u2019s pushback against reports of poor conditions aboard the Lincoln, blaming the media while appearing to ignore the pleas from service members\u2019 families. Hegseth, whose own wife was tapped by Trump earlier this month to head a commission meant to support military spouses, called the reporting \u201ccompletely misrepresented.\u201d Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao said sailors had been pushed to their limits but \u201chave never broken.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5458\">United Pilot Slams on Brakes in Scary Takeoff Emergency<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has reached out to the Defense Department for comment. <\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Defense Department says ice cream served to sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln a month ago proves the ship is not in crisis, despite pleas for help from sailors\u2019 families.
