... does that mean someone took it down on the other end?
Can't have people posting pix of reality when their boss is lying through his teeth... again. Kegsbreath is a lyin' sack of shit.
The Honest Abe crews more than 5,000 people, and the assholes that sent them into harm's way didn't stock the vessel with enough food to feed them all?!!? Real smart.

Sex sells in the news media. Disrespecting the Military personnel who are serving our country apparently isn't "sexy" enough to be a lead story.

they need to bring in Haliburton, once again, like Cheney did in Desert Storm, to un-fathomably fortify the bottom line of that Corporation, and/or other U.S. Corporations?????????????

Prisoners? I think prisoners maybe eat better.
😱 WTAF?

i was told that the food service companies that serve cook co jail have engineered food that has the exact nutritional content required, w all the taste engineered out.

that are being crammed with ICE captives.....With more being created every day by Republicans..........

The Public sees all that is being Reported by the massive Republican owned/operated Media, and there is an un-fathomable amount being done, we never see or hear about......All done in the shadows, behind the Republican's smoke and mirrors.

Just wait folks........YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET..............

In September 2025, the U.S. Department of Defense under Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly oversaw a "use-it-or-lose-it" spending spree, totaling $93.4 billion in grants and contracts for the month.

No kidding, we live in a small deep red Southern town, and locals on the town's Facebook pages have said that "at least they had a real feast" with Hegseth's haul, which...as we all know...didn't get anywhere NEAR the average Military member.

Seems like ancient history now

The only good thing about this is a pissed off military. Expect subdifuge.

Don't see much food.

Bon ape tit.

Sailors revolted over rotten meat. Later made into a B&W movie.

sausage gravy.

MREs are pretty disgusting, too. I've heard that poop turns to sludge, and constipation if you get dehydrated.

Ubiquitous in the military made with hamburger meat.I swore I’d never eat that stuff until I tried it and then I was a fan..

With 2 over easy eggs, yum!

tasty meats and gravies appetizingly spread over a shingle.

Even the Vegetarian ones. Better vitamin, carb, and protein balance, and 3500 -5k calories per pack as needed.
My grandkids love to take the $5.99 training packs to the park for day trips with a water bottle; they typically go with a pasta or rice hot meal, and there's at least 3 types of snacks and a fruit punch or lemonade hydration vitamin drink to go with it.

FWIW, even a 1960's MRE comprised of tabasco sauce, fatty tinned meals, hard crackers, chocolate and chewing gum I had once at a training GQ is way better than what is on the tray in those pictures.

He wasn't a fan, but the dude tended to complain alot. The food I sent helped, he said.

the captain of one of the tankers caught in the shut down of the strait and he said that the shipping company had just renewed all the food on board the ship so his sailors were fine. The US government can't find a way to do that???

Maybe I should enlist. It looks like a sure-fire way to lose weight.

Lunch looked like a kabob with old meat, peppers, and onions, with fried rice and cabbage, I think? Saw shredded cabbage, and maybe rice?
Chipped Beef on toast can be fantastic.

It can also be gag-inducing, especially if it's being used to hide old bread close to being bold it, old processed meat strips, and a watered down bechamel sauce or even a roux made with powdered milk.

Can't go near that right now.

Both the US and Canada fed their troops exceptionally well during that time. It may not have borne any resemblance to fine dining, but, barring exceptional circumstances, our service people had fuel to be able to do what was done.

Canada went from a standing start - a prewar military of 4500 people - and virtually no infrastructure to being able to give its people 3800 calories a day. Ir was something that POWs in both Canada and the US were left gobsmacked over. The modern, bustling countries fed their prisoners MUCH better than had their POWs own countries, and tthey had arrived on this side of the pond to expecting starving civilians barely hanging on to the ruins of their lives and found an industrial capacity that Germany could not POSSIBLY compete with. As one German agent put it in a missive about "What the hell are we doing?" he said that America had grain fields as big as Germany.

The pictures above remind me of the 40-mile Convoy To Nowhere in the first days of the (second) Ukraine invasion.

those meals would be impossible!

"All hands, this is the captain. Everyone not currently engaged in combat operations is to report to the fantail for fishing call."

"Captain, isn't it a little risky for R&R?"

"Yes, but this isn't R&R."
