Families of US military personnel deployed near Iran are raising alarms over severe food rationing aboard naval warships. Photographs from vessels like the USS Tripoli reveal nearly empty dinner trays featuring small portions of shredded meat, folded tortillas, and processed food.The crisis extends to the USS Abraham Lincoln, where a mid-April dinner reportedly consisted of a dry meat patty and boiled carrots. 'The food is tasteless and there's not nearly enough and they're hungry all the time,' Erskine-Valentine remarked.Dan F., a 63-year-old Marine veteran, expressed outrage after his daughter shared a photograph of her lunch aboard the USS Tripoli. The image showed a severely depleted meal, coinciding with her reports of missing fresh produce and dwindling hygiene products.'We have the strongest military in the world. You shouldn't be running out of food, and you shouldn't not be able to get mail on the ship,' Dan said.The situation is worsened by record-breaking deployments. On 15 April, the USS Gerald R. Ford set the mark for the longest aircraft carrier deployment since the Cold War.https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/us-military-families-food-shortages-mail-disruptions-1792178
>>1506699Steve1989: 'Let's get this out onto a tray...... not nice.'
>>1506699Who cares? Its war. Obviously they won't be fed like kings during a fucking combat tour.
>>1506717>Who cares?Low morale = inferior C-in-CUS troops in Korea ate better under Eisenhower's administration.>Who cares?But an Arc de Trump and a Versailles-esque ballroom takes priority over the health of those who are the best of the US, amirite MAGAts?Marie Antrumpette: 'Let them eat cake'
>>1506717You can't fight on an empty stomach. This shit is why supply lines are so important and why shit like Ice Cream Boats in WW2 were unironically important for morale and effectiveness.
>>1506717These are the ships of trillion dollar military in 2026, retard, not the trenches of the Somme. They should be able to fucking eat.
>>1506735Yeah but Trump and Hegseth are skimming money off the budgets and pocketing it for themselves. Massive fraud going on.
a fitting contrast to Trump doordashing McDonalds from the Oval Office
There is literally nothing wrong with people suffering from the consequences of their own actions. Moral of the story is don't join the military or vote Republican.
>>1506717Supply line management was the actual reason why the US was the most powerful military in the world. Being able to get anything and everything, anywhere and on-time. If we let that slip, then we lose the top spot.
>>1506699So break out the MREs.

>>1506798Considering when liberals were saving the world from conservatism in WWII, they created ships specifically to make ice cream for sailors, I think that should be an easy lift to feed the sailors forced to wage trump's war well.but conservatives never care about anyone.
>>1506811>Considering when liberals were saving the world from conservatism in WWIIBait.
>>1506812Not bait when it's true.
>>1506815Counter-point: You're Indian.
esl shill is projecting again
>>1506817The correct term is native american.
>>1506818>t. Rujahpali Singh
>>1506717but magatards told me it wasn't a war because Congress didn't approve it.
>>1506831While it may be a war, as we would define it in common parlance, legally its not a war. The statement is 100% correct.
>>1506699Lincolns been on station for four months straight. Its not easy replenishing a ship with a crew of 5000 especially when its in a combat zone. Shit like this happens. Welcome to war.
>>1506833esl
>>1506812'Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history''Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children'Did a liberal say that several years after being a supreme commander of allied troops in WWII?
>>1506842delicious bait, but it's a great time to remind everyone that the pro trump john birch society literally called eisenhower a commie
>bait>>1506843So what letter was after Eisenhower, and what color of political party supporters elected him as president twice?In Soviet America - especially with a mayor of New York referred to as 'A very rational man' by Trump: and with those in Florida of said color of political party who elected Eisenhower twice votingfor a Democrat representing the district which includes Mar-a-Lago - baited is you, shill.And you'll remain perma-baited since every election after late last year has gone the Democrats' way, and even beyond the midterms.It's a great time to remind shills that you have already lost, or a Republican would have won the district which includes Mar-a-Lago.>anything shills say to the contraryNice fanfic.Reply to this post, and thee only thing baited here is you, shill.
>>1506833It doesn’t matter if it’s a war or not a war because either way the reality is it’s a military deployment
An army can't run on an empty stomach.If the people go hungry, then things like starvation, disease, and cannibalism will happen.
>>1506699wtf even is that rubbery looking strip? I'm guessing the thing that looks like a cowpie is some type of hash, probably beef, but what the hell is that other thing?
>>1506895Apparently a folded tortilla.I've seen shelf-stable bread from a several-years old MRE in one of Steve1989MREInfo's taste review vids which looked more appetizing than that. And generally had far more in terms of contents.
>>1506896grim, these people are risking their lives for us and the government can't even spring for some shelf stable, if bland fucking el paso tortillas in their meal kits?
>>1506891>cannibalismsurprisingly not uncommon amongst Americans, several examples
>>1506895>>1506896>>1506903the tortilla pic is a different pic and is just a tortilla, that gray thing is evidently a slice of "ultra processed meat", haven't been able to hunt down what type of meat it was processed from exactly though.
>>1506909Jesus christ that makes it worse. They already have a patty in that pick. They're literally given meat, the ULTRA meat, and some fucking carrots.
>>1506909I think its the stuff they put in premade gyros. When done properly it's tasty enough, probably not super healthy. But usually its also served in a pita with like 3-4 slices of meat, some veggies and that greek sauce. The tortilla photo from a different ship proves this isn't an isolated event. All those ships over there are ruining low on supplies. Hegseth should face a court martial and then be executed. They executed boys for less during the civil war, and fucking up supply lines this bad is equal or worse then deserting your troops.HEGSETH THE DRUNK COWARD
>>1506952Hegseth will say they’re warriors and warriors can eat anything it’s warrior spirit or some shit like that
>>1506953This is probably unironically his logic; "We don't need some SISSIES getting a three-course meal! Give them the most basic nutrients, teach em some real discipline!".Of course he's a massive hypocrite seeing as he's ordering full steak and lobster dinners for himself every week, but that's par the course for this fucking admin.

>>1506989Gee it's almost like discipline is more than "do anything we tell you and don't complain no matter how you're treated" and soldiers perform better when they have food they actually look forward to eating.
>>1506895>>1506896>>1506909>>>/k/65083085/k/ thinks it's gryo meat that hasn't been cooked.
>>1506992>It's literally just raw gyro meatIsn't that a health hazard? Gyro meat isn't a cold cut, you're not supposed to eat it without cooking it.
>>1506990billions of dollars on luxury foods, and soldiers just get trash
fuck 'em, make 'em work for that free lifetime VA rating money
