American Power · What the USS Lincoln Crisis Reveals About the U.S. Military · 19 Aug 2026 podcast

And are the sec are the President and Secretary of Defense

promoting people to commanders who are more loyalists?

Are they encouraging existing commanders to behave this way?

Or is it literally they're not filtering out they're just not filtering out people who would be compliant?

Or what what's uh how do they end up with with so many people 'cause it does seem like it's it's the boat COs that these people are that the you know, the leaked texts that I'm seeing are complaining about the CO.

They're not talking about Trump explicitly and in you know at least in

what I'm seeing.

I'm sure there are some

broader complaints happening too.

Like how how are the people in those more local positions ending up being like loyalists?

wanting to not participate it or not wanting to participate in it.

It's literally fear of consequences or fear of losing the case.

Yeah, fear of consequences.

I have a str I have a military strategic question about this whole thing, which I'm sure is being covered a lot.

And we've already t got into the leadership, but

You know, in in order to as you mentioned, they were not prepared, so instead of uh learning their lesson, they're once again replacing the USS Lincoln with another ship.

Uh I believe the George Washington in this case.

Uh bringing it in from the Pacific

I assume it had a role in the Pacific Theater.

What effect does that have on whatever the mission of that ship was?
