Let them eat war.
And imagine still riding the maga wave and worshipping a pedophile while fighting a bullshit war in the Middle East while eating this. After the president called you a loser and disrespected the Medal of Honor.
Fake news.
Because the deployment was abrupt as last ditch attempt to distract the people from Epstein files. The logistics hasn’t been prepared adequately for deployment. Basic military knowledge teaches that supply is paramount for any operations. I think the previous chief of staff was sacked because he disagreed with off the whim decision to deploy troops without adequate preparations.
A couple of notes:
This was a picture shared by a Marine aboard a Navy aircraft carrier (USS Abraham Lincoln), not soldiers (that would be the Army, and implies ground troops in my mind). Second, I asked a friend who served like 10 years in the Navy and he said “oh yeah shit like this is just kinda normal. looks good compared to what we got sometimes!” That said I wouldn’t even feed this to a stray animal.
Imagine the US forced to retreats because their soldiers start to fall sick from malnutrition.
Best military force in the world!
Oil prices so high they’re starving the soldiers to save on jet fuel when they transport their caskets back.
Leopards ate their face.
Yeah, well when they get better food than that, they’re about to be sent to their deaths.
All of this to distract from Epstein…
I love this for them.
Okay, that is far worse than the picture of beef and tortillas.
Serving in Iran? You mean terrorizing in Iran?
Special Political Blockade is the preferred term.
US soldiers in Iran, huh?
I doubted the validity of it but there has been news articles. It’s the sailors on the ships in the Gulf of Oman who are running out of food. They probably had to forego replenishment because of the sheer unpredictability and chaos in their operations caused by the Trump admin’s incompetence.
Yeah, a good strategic leader of the forces would be looking at supply chains, timing, weather, and more factors than I know about, and all that is ruined by a overriding idiot like trump saying full speed ahead, no wait backup, OK now turn broadside for a photo op
Likely very true.
I can imagine that the surfacing of these articles will prompt the Executive to blame the Navy, demand a fix and gloat about it when they get replenished and host some big food event event aboard. All while the senior Naval leadership (Aboard) has likely been complaining and signaling about this possibility for awhile now.
Because many people on-board that vessel have encountered likely the exact situation many times over.
This is from an aircraft carrier as I found out
Big decline since the time of the ice cream ships.
WW2 field rations were revolutionary for the time, and US troops rarely went unsupplied (Axis forces often had missing food supplies all the time. The Japanese and Russians had it particularly bad). But the field rations were often described as being unfilling and didn’t provide enough calories as needed. But they were not as bad as many people make them out to be. Granted if I had to eat nothing but those rations for weeks on end I’d be a very sad soldier.
Hunger is the best spice
But combat is one of the most calorie-intensive activity you can do. Hungry soldiers aren’t good soldiers. Whenever they could they tried to get soldiers meals from field kitchens, even those on the front lines and in active combat. It kept morale and energy up.
this is one of those things that’s hard to communicate to people… hot A’s - a single warm meal per day even - is an incredibly better experience than shipped food or MREs. especially when it’s shitty cold or raining and you’re outside 24/7
logistically hard but worth the investment
whoosh … yeah, they mentioned the part about the lack of calories. If war were a cake-walk, that would be much less of a concern.
The “soldiers” currently “serving” “in Iran” are actually on a ship or a military base outside of Iran and doing a desk job, pushing buttons to launch missiles at targets the AI gives them.
Most militaries don’t have a ton of desk job time, even in peace. They make bullshit tasks that need physical labor. The aim is to keep physical fitness around 75-80% for non-special forces and 90% or better for special forces. Everyone needs to be in ship shape. Shape up or ship out.
Several air forces do roughly 50% of peak sorties every week and test for peak sorties once a month or so. If it’s not a habit, you can rise to the occasion.
Militaries aren’t built to fight wars, but to ensure they can fight a war via muscle memory.
Ofc, if your command is particularly brilliant, the aircraft carrier you’re in catches fire, but you’ll have the muscle memory to rush to your station of you survive the initial contact without panicking.
Tell it to literal “Armchair” up-there. Dunno what you think you want with me.
