No, that's just making a second problem.

#12If true, Bill Ackman and Miriam Adelson could hire a cruise ship parked next to the carrier for the sailors to rest, eat and enjoy themselves.
Both of them desperately wanted this war.

#13Loose lips and all that.
"An unidentified father, who's also a Navy veteran, reportedly said his son described seeing holes that have worn through the ship's deck."
If true, it's crazy that sailors can tell their families so much. Doesn't speak well of security. I'm reminded of WW2 censors who read letters being mailed to families.

#14Assumming it's true, half a cup of rice and tortillas it's a formula for a lot of nutrients deficiency + lack of proteins make the body start pulling it from muscles in order to repair other tissues.
The last time dire news about the state of morale and food on board a US Navy ship was paraded around it turned out to be pure fiction. That famous pic of the gray "insole" and pile of ground something with carrots was from years before this conflict and in a totally different context. There's a war on, and right now it's mostly a war of propaganda.

#15Western imperialism is dead and so is the west. Good riddance. Now build a wall around the west let them stay in their own hubris. While the rest of the world can live in peace with out the greedy westerners. Who also caused climate change

The bit about it being taken earlier came from an episode of What's Going on With Shipping with Dr. Mercagliano, and frankly I'm not up to finding it.
Setting that specific claim aside nothing ever came of this, and although I despise the current admin I'm disinclined to think that the Navy was lying when they showed what was really being served days later. It comes down to whether or not you buy anonymous pics from a twitter "OSINT" account or not though.

Ahaha, and Iranian/Russian/Chinese/NK imperialism is suddenly good and peaceful? What a hypocrite.

Food maybe, but morale on the Ford was reportedly quite low and there has been some conjecture that the fire that has knocked it out of service was not accidental.

When I consider how highly to value conjecture, I can think about the Mitch McConnell saga and recognize that conjecture is just another word for WAG.
