Got to ask… What is the food you want when you all get back?

Not sure I’d trust to get basic needs met by an administration that believes those who enlist are “suckers and losers.”

Don’t worry, Pete Hegseth is still eating lobster and filet mignon, with a case of the good stuff.
ruff1298 on
Hungry sailors make for disobedient sailors, I’ve found. I’m not surprised that Hegseth seems to have ignored one of the basic foundations of running an effective fighting force. You think someone would advise him to read the Art of War but I doubt he wants to read a Chinese text.

Eh, looks like the same food I had in the Navy while on deployment. I remember every week we would get served this thin flat and tough flavorless strip of beef (I think that’s what’s in the picture). It was covered in a rainbow slick like someone spilled gasoline on it. Definitely remember the meat patty.

What the hell even is that, a flattened can next to a lump of meatloaf?

So the trays of horrifically unnatural meat are what they’re *supposed* to get?

Why are soldiers being so ungrateful? The stock market is at all-time highs. What more could they possibly need?

Optimize endurance by not giving them sustenance?
Enforced fasting?

Meanwhile Hegseth and his cronies are spending millions on steak and lobster.

But of course 🙄

Even if it’s not a full shortage, conditions on deployed ships can still be rough compared to what people expect.

I wasn’t even in a war, and 6 months into my deployment with 1 port call, our food looked like this.
Ide bet my house this is very very real.

Besides the carrots, I don’t even know what I’m looking at.

They are just going to restrict internet access to the sailors.

IRAN should send boats with white flags and food donations. This is how you sour the party.

Running off half cocked and ill prepared for war totally sounds like something this administration would do.

A scoop of shredded meat and a tortilla?!?!
Where’s the one other thing?

Are they feeding them boiled tongue , what am i looking at

If those are the standard meals then not sure that is much better

War Crimes Minister Pete Hegseth says it’s all lies and that there’s nothing wrong with the food provided to American soldiers. But who still believes anything that comes out of the White House?

Boiled and baked leather is pretty fitting given how much Republicans love to go on about pulling yourself up with your bootstraps.
And hey, carrots. Nice treat after eating the leather.

Oh, so they’re feeding our boys like they’re in DoC on purpose, then? No food shortage means it’s either incompetent or deliberately screwing with them, which is it?

It’s at the point now where the vast majority would *support* a military coup – so I guess this is the Oval Orange’s way to weaken them.

There is no reason to believe anything from “official” military sources.
Everything “they” report is filtered through Darth Hegseth.

Can confirm this has been an issue in the navy a LOT longer than this administration has been in office. I retired in 2022 after serving over 21 years, and this is more common than most would admit. Usually though it’s not that they don’t have more options, it’s that the other stuff being served is even worse…

Let them eat lobster.

Next they’ll tell us they need to get rid of Social Security to feed the troops fighting the war none of us wanted.

Military families can’t feed themselves, either. I see them in food lines at distribution centers, churches and schools. However, this is not a new phenomenon. I lived in a military town in SoCal and worked in a bankruptcy law firm where coincidentally, military families were our top clients. I gave out an updated list of food distribution places and other “frugal” help (stores and other places that gave military discounts) for which they could avail themselves. I guess cannon fodder doesn’t rate food, IDK.

I honestly thought that tray was a joke.
I thought hegseth was ordering millions of dollars of lobster and crab and all of that kind of stuff. Who was eating all of that?

You know, the US armed forces are looking more and more like the Russians: hollowed out by grifters and corruption.
