    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.

      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.

    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!

        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.

          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.

            Help me understand why it’s their fault they were told to do stupid shit with very little recourse.

            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.

                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”

            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 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.

        Oh, sorry, because they signed up to murder people on behalf of the most destructive empire in human history; I thought that was clear. Don’t even try to pull the, “they’re all poor people who had no other choice 😫” shit either, we know that it is mostly middle-class people who fucking choose to be this evil: https://apps.armywarcollege.edu/nss/Documents/Demographics of the U.S. Military.pdf

        If you choose to support the US military, you have sided against all life on this planet. That is not fucking hyperbolic, that is a fact. This fucking post is about the consequences of its most recent genocide campaign in service of the fossil fuel industry, a primary cause of climate change that could potentiall kill billions of people which only persists through US imperialism exactly because it represents a point of control over potential disruption in the imperial periphery. Genuinely, go fuck yourself. Go sign up and eat the slop the pedorapists will give you if you respect these losers so much.
