Asked my nephew who joined the Marines about this. He said this is a “hot tray”. Basically just leftovers for the people that couldn’t make it to meal time for various reasons (his example was 2 people who had to guard their gear while everyone else eats) so they make a tray of whatever is available for them when they’re allowed to go eat.
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.
The latest Chinese propaganda has been posting pictures of their aircraft carrier meals.
what do soldiers fighting a cruel and meaningless war expect luxury meals?
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!
Oh no the people who volunteered to be murderers aren’t getting good food :(
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.
Good. I hope they starve. Fuck them.
Lol cry harder halfwit
Lol no one wants to hear from you or know you and your life is completely worthless. You have no friends which is the reason you have the time to go troll lemmy, you nowit sack of shit.
Lol try harder halfwit
Get a new hobby, you’re wasting oxygen. Have fun replying to a block list loser.
Cope and see the harder
@Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml, what hath thou wrought? They also often repeat, “you’re losing and you know it.”
These are cringey and unproductive no matter who they come from.
You’ve just now noticed these two.
Lol yeah they’re my biggest fan. I don’t post shit like that to be productive, I do it to be demeaning to people I know are dedicated to being unproductive. Why waste time on a thoughtfully composed response to something that was not thoughtfully composed? Sometimes canned disdain is completely appropriate
You are literally the same person. They sound just like you and do the same weird shit you do in every comment section.
You’re losing and you know it. Try harder next time.
Get your own material kid
You’re losing and you know it.
You’re clearly having some sort of weird breakdown over/about me, fyi that doesn’t give the impression that you’re winning anything
Why?
Because they’re imperialist killers for hire?
You don’t think some members may have joined before this administration and got trapped doing this kind of shit?
Its not like you can just quit, you usually do jail time.
And if they have a family, are they supposed to just abandon them?
Help me understand why it’s their fault they were told to do stupid shit with very little recourse.

What, when we were occupying Afghanistan for 20 years and slaughtering hundreds of thousands of civilians? What on earth makes you think I only hate them because of who the president is?
Its not like you can just quit, you usually do jail time.
Tough shit. A person threatening you with jail time does not justify committing murder.
And if they have a family, are they supposed to just abandon them?
Even if they have to, they’d be no worse off than the families of the people they kill. Although, I suppose they often kill the families too, so kind of a bad example.

This may be a difficult concept to grasp, but human beings have agency which means that if someone tells you to do something, you don’t actually have to do it, because you are not a robot.
Where are you getting your info. Links please.
Links for what info? Do you need a source for the fact that there was decades-long occupation of Afghanistan? Have you been living under a rock?
I’d you’re not going to link any info at all, why do you keep replying? I’m literally asking and everyone just downvotes me like I kicked their dog rather than proving any source.
You saying they joined before a administration did war crimes? So they joined before July 4, 1776?
Trump is worse, yeah of course. But there is no living USA president that shouldn’t be send to den hauge
I’m not saying any of that, I’m asking why soldiers deserve to eat trash food. No one can explain it, they just say “they deserve it”
US soldiers deserve worse than shit food. Because they’re rapists and murderers. That’s why. They should just be redacted before they rape and kill more innocent people and kids. Same with IDF.
Explain please. Citation?
Murderers deserve punishment. What more is there to explain?
More info needed. Links?
Lower moral and enemy = more change to refuse order = less innocent Iranians civilians dead
Explain why you think that invaders of Iran, Yemen, Palestine, Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, and many, many other places deserve better.
The US military has been like this for decades though. You could argue ignorance, but at some point you have to take some personal responsibility for your actions.
The US military has been like this for decades
*Centuries
The last time the US military did anything not evil was WWII and that was not really by choice. It’s their fault they were told to do stupid shit because they have at least three generations of murder as examples they could have looked at.
US straight up turned away diaspora Jews who fled Hitler. Soviets let them in, even tired to warn western countries like UK and so on but The West was ready to let Hitler destroy and conquer Europe so they could be turned on the Communists. The USSR foiled that plan.
Canada did the same thing as the US, by the way.
This is not even true . Fire bombing of tokyo and the two nuclear bomb are in the top worst terrorist attacks
Yeah no, I completely agree they still did loads of very evil stuff, it’s just the last time that they did any thing that was somehow helpful
You don’t think some members may have joined before this administration
Oh? Which administration do you claim it was fine to join during?
Its not like you can just quit
They can always quit, unless they are cowards .
And if they have a family, are they supposed to just abandon them?
Why are you not as concerned about the families in the receiving end of their invasions?
Help me understand why it’s their fault they were told to do stupid shit with very little recourse.
Why did they follow up on doing what they were told about signing up to murder foreign kids?
No. I never heard this apologia when talking about russian soldiers. I am pretty sure the consequence for refusing to serve is a lot higher than in the USA
They’re bombing my home country. People don’t generally root for the people who are murdering little girls where they come from. There are 5000 less Iranians in the world because of them.
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.
Looks like prison food lol
If that don’t wanna make you die for your country, nothing will.
Good fuck em. Why would you ever join the military? I don’t care if you’re stupid and poor, I’m stupid and poor, I’d never join that dumb shithead factory
That’s your opinion, there is a lot of benefit to joining
Like killing brown kids and upholding an imperial empire run by pedophiles?
Like what?
And before you say free ride through college, let me head that off - it’s not free if it comes at the cost of human life being churned through the endless war machine.
yeah there is a lot of benefits of becoming a terrorist
You do realize the military keeps out foreign invaders right? So you can wake up in a non war zone?
Bullshit nobody is going to invade the USA when it has nukes. The American army is a terrorist army serving imperialism
You do not “really gotta hand it to ISIS” moment
Mildly infuriating? The coward butchers in the us military deserve every humiliation and degradation they can get.
Only the best for the supercops! ACAB
