    Would not be remotely surprising. Service people revolting against being forced into war is not anything new, and is the origin of the term “fragging”

    DOGE probably cut the position of dryer vent cleaner. I mean, none of them ever cleaned a dryer vent, so it must not be a thing, amirite?

    I hope this is true. 

    It would be nice to believe that there are still people with principles in the military.

    Or maybe, hear me out, the ship was overdue for regular maintenance and servicing because she had been out too long. Maybe, just maybe there is a reason these ships come home every 6 months or so. We know it’s not for the benefit of the sailors. If I was to hazard a guess where the most likely fire to start due to overuse the laundry vents would probably be my second guess right after the Mess hall. Of course they are going to open an investigation into sabotage because they have to not necessarily because they have evidence. They are going to throughly investigate the whole thing so they can see what happened and how to prevent it in the future. That investigation will include looking into intentional sabotage and most likely negligence to cleaning and maintenance.
