Hegseth has begun to refer to the media as Pharisees, after the group of Jewish religious leaders now remembered as instigating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Wow, these people are full on delusional. I hope they rot in hell for their obvious hypocrisy.
America is beyond fucked.
Its scary shit. And I don't see us going back to normal for a long time
I see the extreme plunging of religion among the newest generations and the deep backlash against the current brand of xenophobia. It gives me hope that things will go back to normal and maybe get some gains in a very short time.
It's interesting cause this is what American Christianity has been my whole life, go to any duck blind or Dairy Queen or high school football game, Hegseths are absolutely thick on the ground. These guys are there because they're a mirror of their constituents.
Almost makes me wish Hell and eternal damnation were real things.
That's right, all you need is a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, and a tortilla.
So that plate is plenty
Hey hey hey, don’t forget about the “one other thing”. That’s the lynchpin that brings it all together! /s
1: piece of chicken
2: piece of broccoli
3: corn tortilla
4: ????????
5: a wholesome meal
I'd love to see the glittery plastic bitch who proposed this having nothing to eat except this meal for a month. Her and her children.
I bet you they could not do it. They would be pawning their pearls for "another item" I fucking hate these assholes.
Sorry, but I think this is fucking hilarious.
Those people have gun and are evidently risking their lives for some greedy bullshit. If that's not showing them that their leaders don't give a shit about them, what would?
In the past, I've read that the US Navy ships are on skeleton crews already, and not anywhere near as effective as they used to be. For example, they've struck civilian ships due to short staffing and lack of lookouts. Maintenance is a huge problem.
This was some years ago, and it was already a total mess. Is it worse now? Looks like
Also, I think meals like this indicate graft somewhere in the supply chain, or some kind of colossal fuck up. We're a lot closer to 90s Russia than we like to think.
ETA found the article, from 2019

"It’s getting harder and harder I think for us to look the troops in the eye."
Makes one really wonder where this massive budget for the military actually goes if not into the military.
Raytheon enters the chat.
Well, the Drone Autonomous Warfare Groups (DAWG) requested a budget larger than the Navy's, so I'm thinking it goes to whatever's the current financial grift going around. AI these days.
You know how Americans were making fun of Russia's invasion of the Ukraine because it revealed that Russia had a super out-dated and under-maintained military? Yeah, about that... Turns out, we're not so different after all. Not that I think we should be investing in the military, frankly we're not close enough to qualifying as a democracy for me to approve of anything beyond non-interventionism.
It's almost worse if there's no food shortage and this administration just chooses to feed our service members like we're still suffering through the Great Depression. Wish they'd stop voting for Republicans though, this is what you get...
Oh, that's a tortilla! I guess it's just the lighting that makes it look gray? I hope.
You just know these guys will do their best for Epstein after weeks of eating nothing but the finest cuisine.
Caption says it is unidentified meat.
Looks similar to the packaged gyro strips I buy, but you need more than one for a gyro.
That's exactly what I thought of when I saw it. It looks a bit undercooked though, those meat strips are a bit like bacon and tend to curl up and bubble when they're cooked.
Not if you boil them in water.
There's a proper photo of the tortilla in the article. That grey thing is "unidentified" meat.
We're number 1! We're number 1!
Well, you don't get to number 1 by treating the slave class like human beings!
During WW2 in the pacific theater the navy had a ship that was used to make ice cream.
Looks like the American Navy is now another victim to corruption in the military complex.
The writing was on the wall when the navy couldn't even build a deck to off load cargo in Gaza.
The military has been hollowed out and all that is left is a slick looking facade.
“Ignore the evidence before your eyes”
New image challenge just came in: US Military dinner or US school lunch
Potential recruits: If they're not even going to feed you properly, what makes you think they're gonna pay for college?
So, it’s safe to say the authenticity of the photo is indeed legitimate.
I have been wondering about this. Many ships have gotten through during the US "blockade". I wonder if our Navy captains didn't refuse some obviously illegal orders and the lack of food is punishment.
Not even a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a tortilla, and one other thing
Anyone with relevant experience able to tell me what the kinda grey, silvery thing on the tray is? Maybe it could be fish, but I can't see any scales? Looks kinda like a large, used condom.
routine menu adjustments are simply how we optimise our endurance to keep our warships in the fight
This is how Putin treats his troops.
Ambiguous glistening meat slab again? We had that last night!
It's funny, I thought it was out logistics that made our military so effective?
And your empire was built on soft power and trade, both of which you also don't have anymore.
An army marches on its stomach. Doesn't sail on it I guess.
