This is what active military serving near Iran get to eat. Is he having door dash granny deliver it?
Is he having door dash granny deliver it?
the “door dash grandma” at the white house “sharon simmons” is a actor they reuse a lot. She testified last year in congress pretending to be a concerned citizen to support the big beautiful bill act, and pretended to be in tje military in another skit they tried to pull. They really need to get more actors, its getting ridiculous.
I don’t get it. I get that logistics are hard, but that the thing about the US military, it’s that they’re so very huge, they’re really good at it.
And anyway, if you can drop hundreds of bombs on Tehran, how hard is it to drop MREs on your boats on the way really? Honest question.
The Trump admin doesn’t consider competency as a crucial skill to be a military logistician. In fact, the only crucial skill they care about is loyalty to Trump.
You’re not appreciating the level of incompetence at the top (now).
Hey c’mon now they’re really good at what they care about: making themselves rich. It’s just that they don’t care about anything or anybody else.
W-what is the grey thing?
Last war’s turkey bacon.
🤢
Beaver tail.
I second this, wtf is it? A weird gray slab of meat? A flattened condom?
and when we are at it, what is the brown shit? the only stuff i recognize there is the carrot…
It looks like a super dry smashed beef patty? Maybe? I hope?
The patty is a TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) patty with a hint of beef.
No idea what the other thing is, gravy toffee?
Wow, that doesn’t sound any better at all, lol
They’re not great but you can recognize that they’re intended to be a hamburger.
Sadly, there are even lower quality patties that are entirely TVP. They come as a perfect grey disk that don’t change color when cooked, the cross section looks like neoprene and it tastes about the same.
According to the article
The image showed a lunch tray that was largely empty with only a small portion of shredded meat and a folded tortilla.
But I’d never imagine that grey slice of whatever could be edible.
That quote is referring to the other picture in the article. The one that has a tortilla and shredded meat with it.
Holy shit. There one thing you never take away from your troops. That is chow. You can work their asses off and run them till they drop but you better make sure the chow is hot an plentiful.
Have one piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing.
Is that supposed to be food??
yeah. here is the number of fucks I give for the filthy baby killers in the military: 0
Damn, even military personnel are eating like public school students now.
Didn’t Rumsfeld say something about going to war with the army you can’t afford? /s
I’ll never understand how there wasn’t riots after that statement.
It was “go to war with the army you have”
I remember. Multiple people from my hs died in that war. But KBR sure as hell drug out the design times for up-armoring humvees to protest people so they could milk the govt for more money.
They’re on a boat, plenty of fish in the sea.
Not for long considering the oil war they are about to wage
Moar hardtack and grog!

Such a loud picture.
And I guarantee you that over half of them voted for him, still support him, and will still defend this bullshit and him.
“Why would democrats do this?”
