The US Navy has denied reports of food shortages on board two major vessels participating in the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

Yesterday USA Today reported crew aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli were not getting enough to eat.

One photo taken by a Marine showed a mostly empty lunch tray with a single scoop of shredded meat and one tortilla.

    You’re right, but you vastly underestimate the power of U.S. propaganda. A majority (not all) of the people who enlist have no clue what they’re signing up for. They were told it’s the right thing to do then suddenly they are stuck. Our schools don’t teach critical thinking like they used to so these poor souls are brainwashed into joining or their only other option is death on the streets.

      You can say the same for any fascist and warmongering country. Sub in Russia, Nazi Germany, etc. It doesn’t change a thing
