This is what active military serving near Iran get to eat. Is he having door dash granny deliver it?
The best ways to turn military against you is a) don’t pay them, b) don’t feed them, and c) don’t give a damn about the survival of the soldiers.
I’m not so sure - the Republicans tend to treat veterans like absolute shit and yet, the military seems to have its share of conservatives that cannot stop humping the legs of Republicans.
oh its not by accident, gop/DNC sources alot of them from more conservative areas where the education is poor and likely ecominic situation is equally bad, they tend to be white. next demographics are middle-low POC areas where they arnt poor but not rich enough to pay tuition for college fully, its probably some collusion going on with 4 year universities and expensive colleges or mid-tier.
C is always selected. b) just feed them barely, so they dont revolt even if its low-grade slop. a)they pay them very low, but enough for not to revolt or try to leave the service.
also provide them clean sanitation, apparently they wernt doing that on one of the warships.
Meanwhile the Pentagon is spending millions a month ordering lobster and steak.
And beauty stations.
actually it was nearly 50-90billion on that.
“The US has the greatest military logistics in the world!”
US military logistics:
This shits funny. They blew through millions of dollars to buy lobster and luxuries for the Pentagon staff. Soldiers get shit. Hopefully they get the idea that they aren’t cared for either.

Fragging intensifies…
Art of s/deal/steal.
I’m reminded of people making fun of ‘The Art of War’ for having advice like “feed your troops”.
This is why ‘The Art of War’ was written, for complete morons with no understanding of reality but put in charge of an army.
One major failure of our species is that complete morons end up in charge of armies unacceptably often.
If it weren’t for the morons we wouldn’t even need them.
Is this for real? The pentagon has like a trillion dollar budget and yet somehow can’t feed soldiers? Wtf is this clown shit ass corruption?
Wtf is this clown shit ass corruption?
That’s exactly what it is.
You elect clowns, you get a circus.
You’ve put the cart before the house.
Washington DC is a circus that attracts clowns
p.s. oops i meant horse
I think this is very correct but slightly off. I think its that clowns have no shame. People with shame are repelled by by power so over time DC has slowly filled with clowns as reasonable people slowly leave in shame.
Yeah, how can the richest country in the world with the biggest military budget do this shit to the people they really depend on?
Just look at the private sector in contrast. This country mints more billionaires than anywhere else while treating workers AND customers like shit and-- oh wait.
Have you not seen how often Trump has disrespected the millitary?
It’s mind-boggling that he gets away with it, even while everyday Americans reflexively say “thank you for your service” any time they encounter a soldier or veteran.
Yeah I have. It’s bonkers, but it is also indicative of our culture. sadly. That’s why I made a joke comparing the government’s exploitation and mistreatment of military members with the rest of the economy’s exploitation and mistreatment of all the other normal people. In both cases, the people in power are choosing “number goes up a little bit faster than before” over “human life and well being” repeatedly.
while everyday Americans reflexively say “thank you for your service”
I guess flags and pleading allegiance at schools has its effects.
They blew through their budget like crazy the first few weeks of the war.
They’re asking car dealerships if they can help manufacturer missiles.
it went to bougie food for HESGETH.
Don’t look up how many audits it fails.
That’s easy. Every, the answer is every audit.
Moneys is for Generals, not Grunts
most of it goes back in the pockets of the dnc/gop, and the contractors.
How can you grift money while supplying great meals to the troops? The leadership in the USA loves the war and hates the troops.
Seems like the kind of meal that starts a 30 hour laundry fire.
“laundry fire”, sure.
Yeah I think it was probably a missile strike, but who knows.
When the Fyre festival has better food options than your “warriors”, you suck ass at planning.
On the one hand, I feel sorry for the troops.
On the other hand, we fucking told you so.
They signed up to be mercenaries. I don’t feel sorry for them in particular.
Some sign up for tuition, some have nowhere to go because there is no safety net or better options. Some people just succumb to propaganda or have a family history. Many enlisted before his second term.
I dunno, I’m super against any war, but you can’t assume they are all blood thirsty mercenaries. People have complicated situations, and even through I knew Trump round 2 would be corrupt, I did underestimate how maliciously terrible he could be.
They should be fed. They should be home. Politicians are to blame. One in particular, but there is plenty to go around.
Because you were born into a society with the carrot and stick mentality of 2000 years ago, that’s not on you of course. And I can see that they felt like there is no other option than sign up.
But if it is because you fell for the propaganda that’s 100% on you because it’s way too easy to see through that these days. Those people are basically brain dead mercenaries and deserve this meal and the any shit that’s coming to them.
Some people went in based on their grandfather’s tales of stopping the fucking Nazis, fuck damn.
None of those reasons are any better excuses.
When was the last time the US military did something good? They should have known better. Signing up to kill people isn’t suddenly okay, just because you’re desperate.
Except for a lot of people it’s never put to them that way. “Join the Navy, See the World.” “Learn a career in the Army” “Want to go to college? Serve your country for 4 years and have you tuition paid by the GI Bill.”
Should people know better? Definitely, but the sad truth is that a very large number of them didn’t know better because it was never put to them the way it was put to you.
Buying into American propaganda doesnt absolve you from responsibility and your own actions, sorry buddy.
Its funny too seeing how quickly Americans bash other corrupt governments and countries but somehow its okay for its own populace to buy into American propaganda. Thats pathetic.
Who said it absolved them? It doesn’t. It explains them. And fyi, I’m not American.
It was never put to me at all. I’m just not fucking stupid and/or wilfully ignorant. Either way, being brainwashed doesn’t absolve people from all responsibility for their actions.
Yes, yes it was. You just don’t remember when. Morality is learned, for good or ill. And as I said to someone else, it doesn’t absolve them so much as it explains them.
I don’t know man. I think it’s pretty self evident that travelling the world, killing people who did you no harm for money is bad and I feel anyone with a functioning brain should be able to come to that conclusion on their own, no matter how they were brought up and what they were taught and if they can’t, then that’s on them.
How much slack should we give them? The worst a brainwashed MAGA-tard did was vote for it. Whereas they’re (most of them voted for it as well) willing to kill and die for it.
the sad truth is that a very large number of them didn’t know better because
And just as many didn’t see any other way to climb out of the poverty they were born into.
Those are all mercenary reasons for signing up to be a goverment killer, so they can eat this shit and then a bullet and I won’t shed a tear for these imperialist invaders. Dying there is what they signed up for, so they can do that.
You didn’t read what I wrote, did you? Or if you did, you ignored it.
No worries, have a good rest of your day.
I did. None of those are reasons to sign up to be a murderer. Skip the middleman and go kill and rob someone straight on the street if you consider greed a sufficient reason to kill people.
I can’t wait for the propaganda movie of this food based horror of war!!
The Tray Of Death!
No Potato Gets Left Behind.Starring Marky Mark Wahlberg, only at cinemas.
Nah, I don’t feel bad for the people committing war crimes in a pointless, illegal, and unjustified “special military operation” against a country just as I don’t feel bad for any of the non conscripted* soldiers in Russia’s attack on Ukraine.
*I do feel for anyone who was basically forced at gunpoint into the meatgrinder
I can only imagine how a soldier must feel like when they get to eat stuff like that, and then they are fighting a war that is so dramatically unpopular at home, and all it seems to do it make everything more expensive.
I would think retention is going to become a major problem for the US military.

If it didn’t stop them in the last decades it won’t bother them now.
That, right there, is how much America has been made great again.
Fires all the logistics officers for being DEI Woke
Your logistics goes to shit
/s
Anyone who fights for Trump in particular and US imperialism in general is a sucker who deserves anything bad coming their way. No /s.
It’s almost like they didn’t plan, like at all.
How do they not stock dried beans and rice? It’s cheap, it keeps, a little goes a long ways, easy to make at scale. I wonder how much the Pentagon paid for that “hamburger patty”
Likely they did, but that was a long time ago when they where expected to be back in port in a few weeks. This is what was left after being forced marched across the world from one insane incident to the next. And then they thought they would have access to resupply from local bases, but those have been evacuated due to risk of attack.
