    A 600 calorie a day diet is not SOP. The USA had entire ships dedicated to creating ice cream in World War II as a way to keep morale and calories up. A lot of DoD research has gone into ensuring that troops get the calories they need to stay at peak combat effectiveness.

    If sailors are on 600 calorie a day diets, there has been a near catastrophic breakdown in the supply chain to the aircraft carrier.

      You’re mistaking a nation that had leadership and a functional logistics chain with the nation we have today. This is how things are now they aren’t going to improve, this isn’t an deviation this is simply what you get with a moron ordering a drunk to start wars and commit war crimes.

      As an aside the logistics breakdown is systemic just simply more apparent on this particular deployed aircraft carrier.
