The 2nd Airborne's tour has been extended to 12 months total. also, the U.S.S. Lincoln for some reason went to Thailand rather than the U.S. which was not likely a good idea either so the Sailors go to see prostitutes and take drugs in Thailand rather than visiting their families? This seems absolutely crazy to me. How many young men aren't going to survive this after what they have already been through in the Middle East. Just Crazy to do this to them rather than sending them home to their families.
It's likely because Trump and Hegseth don't want them telling the truth about what happened to them in the Middle East before the Midterm Elections. What a Crock of Shit!
