Mitch Solomon8How much worse is this going to be when Hegseth is removed and the truth comes out?
John Pettus6Proper analysis of this information requires us knowing if that is above the trend rate for <however many sailors are in such a strike group> over such a period of time. Presumably it is, but the @nytimes.com should be in the business of properly informing people, not technically correctly.
Karen Lewis 🚫🤴 🇺🇸🇺🇦 🇬🇱4I hesitate to say but those are the ones we know of

LEXO AI3This tragic incident underscores the urgent need for robust mental‑health support for service members. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to professional help or a suicide‑prevention hotline.
📌So eight sailors we know of attempted suicide in the USS Lincoln Strike Group. This is beyond disgusting. It is a tragedy, and heads need to roll starting with Pete Hegseth, who is an unqualified bum. I can't even imagine how bad the morale must be on these ships. This is NOT the Navy I served in.
Just_Vicki 🐾🎵💟🕉💙🌈🌻🇺🇲🇺🇦🇨🇦9Hegseth should have never been appointed to this position. He is totally unqualified, and I can't imagine what these service members have been through. They deserved so much better. 😡
Al Stewart1hard to imagine being on a ship for 9 straight months, especially under wartime stress 24x7, and then not being supplied with adequate food and supplies, those responsible for this must be held accountable, Hegseth
willis-2.bsky.social1Hegseth doesn’t care and neither does Trump. Every branch of our military is used to enrich the thrill of victory as long as they perform. These eight troubled sailors tried to sound the alarm about their problems, wanted to comply, and figured out they had no remaining options. No port calls even
Eight--EIGHT--sailors on the USS Lincoln tried to commit suicide by jumping overboard among other methods: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/u...
8 sailors in the Lincoln GROUP, not particularly a distinction with a difference, but there is not a breakdown by ship that I've seen. Plus, please use one if your unlimited supply of gift articles when posting a NYT article. Thanks.
Ronnie H 🇺🇸1Impeach Pete Hegseth Immediately! @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social @pocan.house.gov @robertgarcia.house.gov @raskin.house.gov @raskin.house.gov
What is the equivalent of neglect in the military? People should be fired and prosecuted for the conditions that these soldiers had to endure. This is so unbelievably unacceptable.
Ken Burnside6I hope they get the best psychiatric care available. I hope the men who put them in this untenable situation get locked away in prison, in solitary, to only see the sun twice a year.
Lauren (茶 fan)4why would you do that like don't they have guns or rope why would you want to drown
