This is uplifting not infuriating.
Seems like the right thing to feed a baby killer
pro tip: stop fucking joining this shitshow.
For many, joining the US military is the only way out of poverty, a path to citizenship, or a way to a higher education. Some others just are victims of propaganda, or just genuinely sadistic, but unfortunately most of the people joining the military are victims of a failed education and social security system designed to bring more troops into the meat grinder.
Joining the US military means killing innocent men women and children all over the world.
Is “wanting to escape poverty” a valid excuse to murder children? Bank robbery is a more noble profession than US militant.
Until morale improves.
Army stroooong
Sucks to suck, don’t join the fascist army.
I was just wondering why this is mildly infuriating. I find it mildly hilarious. Dumb fucks joined up after the US went full mask off.
Get what ya get and don’t throw a fit.
Students need to get money somehow, with AI taking their jobs.
Yeah when you don’t get an onrep it gets rough. Any sailor who’s done a deployment knows to squirrel away some food for these occasions.

Not sure if lead slab or a cursed pickle… Maybe both.
I read lead slab and agreed with that assessment
A thin slice of protein loaf.
The fork and knife in that last picture are so insulting
Meanwhile in the Finnish army we conscripts got pancakes, fish, meatballs, burgers, all kinds of decent food, and you were allowed to portion yourself so you could get quite full. It was on par if not slightly better than regular old school food.
Yeah, about that school food comparison
Not the same in the us as developed countries
An army recruiter came to my extremely poor elementary school, and could basically say anything to us kids. Told us that if we joined the army you can get whatever food you want, at all, from the mess hall and a chef will cook it for you. And yes, being able to get food was a motivating factor for some of us.
I asked if you could get eggs Benedict every day if you asked for it. He looked a little nonplused, then said “oh yeah sure! Every day!”
I knew at that point he was full of it and told him so.
The rich school near me had the same thing. Navy medic came in to describe how amazing the navy treats you. Definitely not a recruiter, though. Made very clear up front that he wasn’t there recruiting. Wink wink, nudge nudge.
told him so.
How did he respond?
He didn’t like his ruse exposed but tried to play it off and change the subject. The teacher was amused though
I will say, that experience varies wildly by branch, and even chow hall to chow hall within a branch. I was in the Marines, and the “new” chow hall on Pendleton mainside (they opened it about a year after I got there, but that was 15 years ago now) was really pretty good. Solid breakfast burrito line, an omelet station where you could get real eggs, etc. Lunch and dinner had a few options, and a panini bar.
The chow hall we had before that one opened was a dump.
But then, I went TDY to an Air Force base. And let me tell you, that was better than most restaurants I’ve been to.
If the Air Force had to eat at marine corps chow halls until they could pass a DoD audit, they would pass on a month.
I knew this post was going to end on an Air Force story when I read “varies wildly by branch”.
As a former enlisted who thankfully got medical’d out of the service very early, the ONLY thing I find mildly infuriating 8s that it looks like my old school lunches.
Why do they deserve to get better food than our children?
Anyone still in can kiss my ass. Most enlisted joined within the last 10 years where it’s been a ShitShow since Trump1.0. I joined when I thought Obama was going to be different, but am glad I got out not long after it became clear how much he loves drone strikes. I would have just gone awol when trump showed up.
Modern military deserves the food we give to homeless people. Once we improve the lives of those who have it worst, we can think about getting them better food.
Ohh if you’re pissed at this just wait until you hear that the administration is funding the war out of the payroll for the armed services.

When sailors stop getting paychecks on time it’s gonna be lit.
Isn’t that like the first rule of history, always pay your military?
No, the first rule is always feed your military

Donald doesn’t pay.
Yes. You end up with a military dictatorship or rarely something better. Given the amount of military folk who love the idea behind Starship Troopers, i wouldn’t bet on the latter.
Ohhh that’s bad. No pay and no food makes it difficult to run a ship.
Maybe. I would have thought there would have been brass pushed over the side just for that food but I don’t know if that’s happened.
Too good for those terrorists.
