1896: Just Dew It

CBS News and Veterans Debate Aircraft Carrier Deployment Stress

CBS News correspondent Charlie Daggett reports on the "austere" conditions and mental health concerns for sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln, which was diverted from the Pacific to the Middle East. Retired Navy Captain Carl Schuster explains the psychological toll of deployments exceeding 60 days, noting that the intensity of flight operations in a kinetic conflict zone leads to significant fatigue. The discussion contrasts these modern complaints with the harsher conditions faced by veterans in previous wars like Vietnam.
