Naval top brass under Pete Hegseth’s hardline Pentagon leadership punished a teenage airman after he survived a harrowing 67-foot leap into the ocean.

Navy Airman Nicholas McKelvey, 19, was formally discharged on Thursday, with leadership branding his desperate mental health crisis aboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln as “malingering” and accusing him of faking distress to escape a grueling combat deployment as the ship headed for the Middle East.
