... reduced rations and no mail from home.

Dan F. was alarmed when his daughter, a Marine aboard the USS Tripoli, a warship deployed to fight the Iran war, sent him a photo of a meal served on the ship. A lunch tray, two-thirds empty, carried one small scoop of shredded meat and a single folded tortilla.

A picture of a mid-April dinner on the USS Abraham Lincoln, shared by a service member with his family, was similarly unappetizing – a small handful of boiled carrots, a dry meat patty and a gray slab of processed meat.

Dan and other military family members worried that their loved ones deployed to the Middle East are going hungry are filling boxes with items they hope could help service members ride out prolonged deployments in the Middle East – homemade fudge, Jolly Ranchers, crossword puzzle books, playing cards, toothpaste, Girl Scout cookies and fresh socks. But mail delivery to military ZIP codes across the Middle East has been indefinitely suspended as of April, and packages in transit now hang in limbo.

A picture shared by a US Marine deployed on the USS Tripoli of a meal service members on board received.
Dan asked to go by his first name only to protect his daughter from retaliation.


What should we expect from a man who called service members suckers and losers.

We should expect a man who is more interested in the millions/hundreds of millions he can scam from the billions going to arms manufacturers…… than he is interested in the hundreds of thousands he could scam from the millions spent on food for the men and women headed to war.

But those hundreds of thousands from food that he does scam translates into the pathetic meals being served aboard ships.

The navy always had the best chow, and now tens of thousands of American troops are having the proof of this president’s thievery thrown down on their trays every time they go through the line in the galley.

An army marches on its stomach- a truth known by generals since the legions first marched out of Rome……

Must be Biden’s fault.

Nothing new under the sun department.

Recall when troops were deployed to DC after Jan 6? Some were from Michigan.

Spankee will also deny the troops the right to vote.

He prefers people who ACTUALLY LIVE IN THE US AND DO NOT VOTE BY MAIL.
