The Constitution at a standstill: From the Politics Desk
In today’s edition, NBC News reporters dig into the impact of the Iran war on the economy at home and also on U.S. forces deployed in the region. Meanwhile, senior national politics reporter Jonathan Allen digs into the decades-long dry spell of failed constitutional amendments. U.S. military leaders are privately raising concerns inside the Pentagon and the White House about low morale and widespread fatigue among American service members who’ve been deployed for months to support the war with Iran, according to two U.S. officials. Amid the concerns, the Pentagon plans to replace one of two aircraft carriers deployed in the Middle East — the USS Abraham Lincoln, according to a third U.S. official. There have been growing complaints from service members and their families about the deteriorating living conditions for the more than 50,000 troops deployed, particularly the sailors and Marines who are stationed on aircraft carriers in the Middle East, according to the U.S. officials.
