Former soldier convicted of stealing seven truckloads of MREs! [View all]

https://taskandpurpose.com/news/former-soldier-convicted-stolen-mres/

Joseph Lavar Davis, 47, a retired soldier, stole 200 pallets of Army Meals, Ready to Eat, between February and August 2020 - which, as you may recall, was when Donald F. Trump was president the first time.

When Mr. Davis was a soldier his job was in food service supply, and after he retired from the Army he took the same job as a government contractor. A team of four conspirators worked to do this: Davis, who requisitioned them; a GI, who used his access to base to pick up the MREs from a warehouse on Fort Bliss, TX; an intermediary to transport the stolen MREs to a military surplus dealer in El Paso, TX; and the dealer who sold them online.

The total value of the stolen atrocities was over $1.1 million.
