Combined with the most moral army in the work. classic cocktail.

And re-supplying them or rotating them out would be an admission that the war will go on longer and isn't already over.
So they go hungry.

I'm genuinely shocked at how weak and incompetent the US Military has looked throughout this entire operation. Iraq and Afghanistan were shit shows, but the US was always able to handle the essentials of logistics and so on. The machine worked, it was just clumsy and hard to steer.

Somewhere in the gap between Afghanistan and Iran, that machine has been left without even basic maintenance.

And yet we give the military more money than ever.

Pissed of allied countrys.

Yeah but the food isn't free. And good luck finding a job, any job basically, in this recession. Can't blame people choosing the military when the alternative could mean homelessness.

You do realize that's not actually an option right? Like, you can't just quit the military. You can request your release, but they're not gonna grant it until your ship gets cycled off of the operation and returns to a friendly port, and that's assuming they grant it at all. They absolutely do not have to, and during an active military operation they're extremely unlikely to.

Its honestly kind of hilarious to see the military directed by morons who are obsessed with “lethality” and culture war nonsense, meanwhile they lack even a rudimentary understanding of how the military functions.

Anyone who understands how a military works could tell you that logistics is not just half the battle, its basically the entire battle. During WWII, 8/10 servicemen worked in logistics. The Nazis were defeated via logistical advantages. American military dominance was created and sustained through the buildup of interconnected bases which enabled them to quickly and efficiently move people, equipment, and supplies around the world. Without that system working effectively there is no such thing as the “lethality” that these dumbasses goon over. Apparently, they believe it comes from thin air

Failing to feed your troops is one of the fastest ways possible to tank morale. Mail from home comes every few weeks. You eat three times a day.

I don’t think Rojava state exists anymore, resolution there was merger with Sharaa govt. which finalized recently.

I'm confused and not American.

I need this on a t shirt. Feels like it'd sell a lot, since the rest of the world can fucking relate.

I am an American, I also read it so I can answer you.

The military is feeding the troops, just very poorly and quite frankly this should be a huge scandal. People are also sending food via care packages to their family members but military zip codes across the region were “closed indefinitely” so there’s no where to deliver to. The air spaces are closed because the region is at war. In the paragraph directly after the part about airspace:

“Interruptions and delays in mail service have been a part of every American conflict since the Revolutionary War,” he told the outlet. “Communications and supply networks that work well during peacetime are invariably disrupted during wartime."

It’s a supply lines during wartime thing

If we can’t even feed our troops or keep the most basic function of our government open as opposed to just disrupted, the US is founded on our post office practically! it’s a very bad sign for us being able to keep supply lines open for a war.
