“He’s struggling,” Kelly said, recounting his conversation with the soldier’s grandmother. “It’s depressing, and it’s a very difficult situation.”
Kelly also criticized what he described as dismissive responses from President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to concerns about conditions aboard the Lincoln.


I don’t understand this. We are America, we have plenty of food, and we have plenty of transportation. Why can’t we load a ship with food, and deliver it to the Lincoln? They’ve been out there for nine months, they’ve had plenty of opportunity.
The simple fact is that Hegseth and the rest of this government think of it as a ship, as an inanimate object. They don’t concern themselves with the fact that the sailors that operate that ship are living beings.
