Iranian missiles have already destroyed significant capacity for the US military's paper thin logistics network in the middle east, leading to severe food and sanitation shortages throughout the Navy. Sailors are losing their minds, posting borderline mutinous language on social media, and self harming. Some have lost 20-30 lbs due to their meagre diet.

Like these kind of conditions you don't hear about in war unless it's winter and the army is cutoff from supply lines and being sieged. And this is supposed to be a one-sided easy war!

That's basically the situation, as all the logistics hubs the Navy has in the region have been destroyed. The supply chain is soooooo stretched right now.

They're gonna promote the captain of that ship into a admiral and then send a message to him telling him that no us admiral has ever been captured alive
