That, right there, is how much America has been made great again.
Fires all the logistics officers for being DEI Woke
Your logistics goes to shit
How is this news? We should be sorry for the fucking killers for money???? FUCK THEM. KARMA IS A BITCH!!!!!!!!!
Netanyahu needs you to eat your goyslop.
😂
I can only imagine how a soldier must feel like when they get to eat stuff like that, and then they are fighting a war that is so dramatically unpopular at home, and all it seems to do it make everything more expensive.
I would think retention is going to become a major problem for the US military.
Don't worry, they upped the draft age to 42! I'm certain that's not just a coincidence.
There is so little nutrition in this its not even funny. America is so ignorant when it comes to food its scary.
Americans are just as horrified as you are, this isn't normal, lol.

This isn't the historical standard. The US military has historically specialized in stockpiling, transporting, storing, and distributing highly nutritious meal kits to troops on deployment. YMMV from division to division, but I know a few veterans who generally heaped praise on the kind of food they were served on deployment in Afghanistan and Iraq, at least relative to what their peers in the local US-aligned guards were eating.
This is a stark deterioration to the kind of food troops on deployment are used to receiving. And I can't help notice how it corresponds with Pete Hegseth's crusade against all the "DEI" and "Woke" officers who inevitably get stuffed into the less-sexy logistics offices.
Case in point, the first woman four-star general came up through the logistics track.
There's several factors for the rise of obesity levels in the USA.
Is this for real? The pentagon has like a trillion dollar budget and yet somehow can't feed soldiers? Wtf is this clown shit ass corruption?
Yeah, how can the richest country in the world with the biggest military budget do this shit to the people they really depend on?
Just look at the private sector in contrast. This country mints more billionaires than anywhere else while treating workers AND customers like shit and-- oh wait.
How can you grift money while supplying great meals to the troops? The leadership in the USA loves the war and hates the troops.
Moneys is for Generals, not Grunts
They blew through their budget like crazy the first few weeks of the war.
They're asking car dealerships if they can help manufacturer missiles.
Aren’t we all so glad America is invested in real manly food like purple beef patties instead of weak effeminate shit like vegetables, or flavor
America is so ignorant when it comes to food, its scary. Someone really thinks they get nutrition from slop like this, or it wouldnt exist.
And you are right, so much of American food has zero flavour, zero spices, zero veggies or fruits. Many things just have salt, sugar, butter and oils - thats American "food."
so much of American food has zero flavour, zero spices
Hey we're not all in the midwest... hahah - but no. America being a true melting pot means that we have access to every cuisine the world has to offer. The best part of that is the lack of conquest - we didn't go steal the worlds' best food, for a long time (not now unfortunatley) we opened our arms to people fleeing your country, and let them come here and succeed, opening restaraunts, food carts, shops, etc - and my tastebuds are eternally grateful!

Classic military diet at the end of an empire's reign. The corruption is so deep that the logistics to feeding their invading army while out on deployment are all but collapsed due to communications failures, inefficient funding, being belligerent to the countries who supply you food while abroad, etc.
Also, try to get something made here anymore, we don't have the infrastructure to develop a lot of those skills anymore.
Our entire manufacturing industry rested on its laurels for fifty years. We sort of assumed the miracle was cheap labor (money in America is still upset about whole emancipation thing).
Super high dollar mossles were the only thing we had left and I think we just realized how the balance of Military power is also shifting.
So unless we WW3 everyone else, or stir up the continent and get them to do it again, we would have to do serious work and we don't have those akillsets either. Think about our bave new Iraq.
Half a century of bad leadership has had an effect.
Our entire manufacturing industry rested on its laurels for fifty years.
It didn't fall asleep, it grew legs and walked overseas.
And industry certainly didn't have to. Whilst Trump is wrong about the effects of trade deficit, he wasn't wrong about it posing problems for US. Trade deficit isn't a bad thing, because if done wisely import is essentially foreign investment in domestic production.
The fact that US manufacturers struggle is another way Trump represents the US: the US personified is a horrible short-sighted businessman that can't get ahead with decades of a head start and endless investment pouring in.
