I mean, when you literally sign up to be cannon fodder, I don't know what you expect. America has always treated troops and veterans like livestock. You could simply choose a career other than oppressing the third world for oil profits.

Legitimately, I’d like to say I was just making some principled stand, but when I was 18, “the food is famously terrible” was a bigger part of me not joining the military than I’d like to admit 😂
what do soldiers fighting a cruel and meaningless war expect luxury meals?

The latest Chinese propaganda has been posting pictures of their aircraft carrier meals.
Oh, no, the volunteer soldiers who are willingly taking orders from pedophiles and Nazis aren't feeling COMFY and eating gourmet food???
Fuck'em. This is better than they deserve.
They don't deserve even mud for food. But, there's a solution: see that fatty right besides you, soldier?
They deserve it for wanting to serve there. None of them are good people. They know what they sigbed up for (not talking about the food)
Oh no the people who volunteered to be murderers aren't getting good food :(
Lots of people arguing about this in the comments, but I'm glad there's so many people defending the position that it's ok to do bad things if you're poor, because that's exactly my position. I wasn't in the military, though, no.
I was the guy that trafficked kids to Epstein's Island.
I don't talk about it a lot because most of the time people judge me pretty harshly for it. You wouldn't believe how many dates have walked out on me the moment I drop what I used to do for a living. I mean, look, I'm not a pedophile myself. Most of the guys I was working for were just desperate and in it for the money. I don't support what the guys in Washington decided to pay me for. Blame them, not me.
What was I supposed to do, work in a warehouse or a grocery store or something? What am I, some kind of chump? Fuck that. With the money I made duct taping children's mouths shut and throwing them into my trunk, I managed to earn enough money to put myself through college, and finally persue my real passion.
That's right. Now I'm finally able to persue a dual major in Moral Philosophy and Women's Studies. Also, funny coincidence, I'm a TA and I'm actually teaching one of the girls I met in my previous line of work about feminism. What a funny little coincidence!
Thank you for your service defending what this country stands for.
This is the exact same stuff they fed us when I was in Iraq 20 year ago. They gave the contract to the lowest bidder who bought the cheapest food possible then pocketed the "leftover" cash. This isn't new. The difference between then and now is our families could send us care packages and we didn't have cell phones to post about the mystery meat. I don't want anyone to eat like this but I also don't know why everyone is surprised by wartime food. Food SUCKS when you deploy, it's why they give troops the big send off steak and lobster dinner. Best way to avoid giving our troops trash food is to NOT DEPLOY THEM.
An army recruiter came to my extremely poor elementary school, and could basically say anything to us kids. Told us that if we joined the army you can get whatever food you want, at all, from the mess hall and a chef will cook it for you. And yes, being able to get food was a motivating factor for some of us.
I asked if you could get eggs Benedict every day if you asked for it. He looked a little nonplused, then said "oh yeah sure! Every day!"
I knew at that point he was full of it and told him so.


Mildly infuriating? The coward butchers in the us military deserve every humiliation and degradation they can get.
Looks like prison food lol
The US military industrial complex is a prison. People sign up for it for social service benefits that first world countries get given to them as a human right.
