Fake news.
Serving in Iran? You mean terrorizing in Iran?
Special Political Blockade is the preferred term.
US soldiers in Iran, huh?
I doubted the validity of it but there has been news articles. It’s the sailors on the ships in the Gulf of Oman who are running out of food. They probably had to forego replenishment because of the sheer unpredictability and chaos in their operations caused by the Trump admin’s incompetence.
This is from an aircraft carrier as I found out
Big decline since the time of the ice cream ships.
WW2 field rations were revolutionary for the time, and US troops rarely went unsupplied (Axis forces often had missing food supplies all the time. The Japanese and Russians had it particularly bad). But the field rations were often described as being unfilling and didn’t provide enough calories as needed. But they were not as bad as many people make them out to be. Granted if I had to eat nothing but those rations for weeks on end I’d be a very sad soldier.
Hunger is the best spice
But combat is one of the most calorie-intensive activity you can do. Hungry soldiers aren’t good soldiers. Whenever they could they tried to get soldiers meals from field kitchens, even those on the front lines and in active combat. It kept morale and energy up.
this is one of those things that’s hard to communicate to people… hot A’s - a single warm meal per day even - is an incredibly better experience than shipped food or MREs. especially when it’s shitty cold or raining and you’re outside 24/7
logistically hard but worth the investment
whoosh … yeah, they mentioned the part about the lack of calories. If war were a cake-walk, that would be much less of a concern.
The “soldiers” currently “serving” “in Iran” are actually on a ship or a military base outside of Iran and doing a desk job, pushing buttons to launch missiles at targets the AI gives them.
Most militaries don’t have a ton of desk job time, even in peace. They make bullshit tasks that need physical labor. The aim is to keep physical fitness around 75-80% for non-special forces and 90% or better for special forces. Everyone needs to be in ship shape. Shape up or ship out.
Several air forces do roughly 50% of peak sorties every week and test for peak sorties once a month or so. If it’s not a habit, you can rise to the occasion.
Militaries aren’t built to fight wars, but to ensure they can fight a war via muscle memory.
Ofc, if your command is particularly brilliant, the aircraft carrier you’re in catches fire, but you’ll have the muscle memory to rush to your station of you survive the initial contact without panicking.
Tell it to literal “Armchair” up-there. Dunno what you think you want with me.
whats wrong soldier boys, don’t like what uncle sam is serving you? maybe they should have made better choices when voting.
Bet your commanding officer is starting to look pretty tasty right about now…
Can you expand upon this?
Soldier boys (men and women)
They (all of the people currently in the military? )
All voted for politicians who are in offices now?
Please explain
Enough of them did, and even more have joined-up recently-enough to know exactly who they would be taking orders from. Your argument doesn’t hold water.
Incorrect My argument was asking for more information and the commenter has yet to make reply.
No specific commenter is obligated to reply to your non-sense or do your research for you. “Enough of them did” was more info than your “request” merritts.
Asking to put up or shut up is a fair request. They aren’t obligated to respond to that request, but it’s equally fair to then assume their statement is rectally sourced.
Imagine doing fuck-all to prove me wrong, not even bothering to make a counter-claim, then referring to my, TRUE, statement as “rectally sourced”.
Maybe I didn’t have to look it up immediately before commenting, because I’ve looked it up many, many, times before when bothering such obligatory things as "you are wrong, and this is why."
See what I did there?
Good job doubling-down on a double-down. I’ll go up and add that link to my earlier comment, so no one need dig down here to see your laziness and shame, which to spell it out again: you made zero claims(beyond “rectally sourced”, yawnwithatootforya*), and provided nothing in the way of substantiating your ignorant bullshit.
The suggestion that the person making the claim is responsible for substantiating that claim made you throw a tantrum. If you’re that fragile, maybe the Internet isn’t the place for you.
Iv not replyed because your not worth replying to, everyone else here understands what I’m saying but you, sounds like a you problem. Enough voted on it and now they’re stuck with that they’ve got wanted, now it’s time to own it. Don’t like it then I suggest you don’t reup jarhead.
Popular agreement does not equate to correctness.
You did reply. ‘Not worth replying to’ - parroting the others, riding the popularity…
‘Jarhead’ is a word-it does not apply to me. Using inciteful words you do not understand or rather do not understand the intended target (me) whom you’ve not taken one ounce of effort to understand
While
Making a simple, short, low effort claim, I see this and I want more information to understand your positions more clearly.
You, on the other hand, could not care less about what my position is even though I am in a place to understand this issue on a more intimate level…
Group X v Group Y The less those two groups attempt to understand eachother the more likely chaos, division, hatred, and or violence is to occur.
See this is why i didn’t respond to you initially, your just doing that stupid redditer pseudo intellectual rutine, trying to use logic on a offhand observation that wasn’t anything more then a jab at the American military complex. I insult them because they’re a v. clearly an imperialist body and if your too dumb to realize that then Im not going to waste my breath on you, america has been made fun of for being oil hungry meddlers for decades.
you stupidly singled stuff out like ‘solider boys’ as if it was a gotcha. as Machinefab812 pointed that out, many voted for them just shy of 50% and now this is what they have to look forward to, you going ‘who, what, way’ like a child will get you about as far as a child and i really don’t think i need to add any more to this convo cuz its a waste of time.
‘Trying to use logic’ Thinking
Could have said that from the beginning. Im not attacking anyone or being a child because I am in fact an adult. When someone asks for clarification typically there is a response-this is how communication generally happens between adults.
Like this ‘What did you mean by that?’ ’ I meant this.’ ‘OK. Because I thought you meant this, great.’
So no, I do not see why you delayed a response because it could have been far less dialogue had you said ‘its not that deep bro, I just dislike this thing happening and I didn’t think too muchh about what I typed’
Again with the popularity thing?
‘Soldier boy’ singled out because you used the term incorrectly showing a lack of understanding (thats OK Im here to help-- I do understand, you just have to set aside some ego)
‘Jarhead’ singled out because it was used incorrectly showing a lack of understanding again.
No, you do not need to do anything. I can see you lack the positive spirit of truth seeking, accountability and international cooperation and I cannot help that.
This is probably copy paste from Facebook

We can talk all the shit we want about our soldiers and it will never equal the amount of disrespect they get from the United States government.
You know, if you’re one of them reading these comments, fighting for the fascists is a choice you are actively making. When you hear vets from the past saying they risked their life for our freedoms, you don’t get to say that anymore. If you won’t risk jail or a dishonorable discharge for your country then you definitely won’t risk your life for it. Which is exactly why the current military are either craven losers or authoritarian white supremacists. A bad look, if you ask me. This is their choice, and they made it. We should force them all to lay in that bed for as long as this country remains.
So i don’t respect the military, but apparently those fascist enabling bitches like that treatment.
Miss read, edited sor lol
Is that a slice of lead next to the beans-or-meat?

Lithi-yum
I assumed it was a slab of cold fish skin
Lol our military feeds soldiers how our hospitals feed the poor and our schools feed the poor and our prisons feed the poor.
I went to public school on welfare and got the free lunch, which was a full lunch from whatever menu you chose from.
I was a poor kid in a very rich town.
So at some point they definitely didn’t treat poor kids like shit, everywhere.
They eat forks?
Tough hombres!
The fork is the most nutritious part!
It’s full of iron.
It’s chromed lead.
more usable calories in the tray than what’s on it.
At least the industrial sealant roll up week have done decent chew to it.
Imperialist jackboots don’t deserve privileges so this is too good for them.
What the fuck am I looking at? Gray food??
Carrots, I think a plain hamburger patty but it looks more like a child’s science project on mold spores, and what I can only see as part of the insole of a shoe
Somebody answer. What is that thing?
My first thought was fish, but I was already trying to stop thinking about it as that thought was forming.
Looks like a single slice of roast beef or something, plus bunless hamburger.
I think the roast beef or something is labeled as ‘gyro meat’ aboard the carriers-experience.
What it is actually made of I have no idea.
The carrier often operates on a ‘pay check to pay check’ diet. The machine is packed with food stores, ammo, repair parts, etc and then it sallies forth.
The food is cooked, eaten, spoiled, otherwise consumed and must be replenished. Replenishing the machine is a huge phenomenon. Sometimes.the replenishing does not happen soon enough or there is rationing because they know the ritual of replenishment can only happen on x date which is a long way out.
With news articles like the one hyperlinked by someone, im sure the priests of the machine are going to ensure to gather a bountiful replenishment and spoil the men and women of the machine as soon as is actually possible–hopefully.
Yeah it’s 100% gyro strips. I’ve had them in gyro kits before. While they have a less saturated color like spam or other processed meats, I think the lighting angle in this picture distorts it a bit.
They can be really greasy so that’s what the light is reflecting. I dab them with paper towels when I prepare them.
Normally it’s not served plain, obviously. Usually it’s on a round peta with onion, lettuce, tomato, and cucumber sauce.
Edit: Here’s an example of what I mean. Sometimes the cheap, hyper-processed stuff doesn’t have the frilled edges that most people would expect from “off the cylinder” gyro meat.

Hopefully this guy or gal that took the photo had some sauces they smothered on there before eating it. Bringing a few bottles of chicken fil a sauce is always prime.
And imagine still riding the maga wave and worshipping a pedophile while fighting a bullshit war in the Middle East while eating this. After the president called you a loser and disrespected the Medal of Honor.
pretty standard for a prison I think
Holy crap, they’re actually running out of food on those ships? I didn’t think that was even a possibility wihin the US forces.
Normally when you start a war there is months of planning and prep to make sure all your troops stay armed, fueled, and fed. You don’t ‘yolo, war tomorrow’ and ship eveyone out.
When you don’t have a bunch of incompetent fuck sticks at the top jerking everything around to stroke their egos, US military logistics systems are miraculous.
Wow, 2 months ago they were eating steak and lobster.
That’s for the lords and ladies, not the small folk.
No, everybody got it. Back when I was in, everybody knew that a fancy dinner meant deployment, extended deployment, or delayed or canceled leave.
