The US Navy has denied reports of food shortages on board two major vessels participating in the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Yesterday USA Today reported crew aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli were not getting enough to eat.
One photo taken by a Marine showed a mostly empty lunch tray with a single scoop of shredded meat and one tortilla.
That’s right, all you need is a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, and a tortilla.
So that plate is plenty
Hey hey hey, don’t forget about the “one other thing”. That’s the lynchpin that brings it all together! /s
Does the tray/plate count as the other thing?
Sorry, but I think this is fucking hilarious.
Those people have gun and are evidently risking their lives for some greedy bullshit. If that’s not showing them that their leaders don’t give a shit about them, what would?
In the past, I’ve read that the US Navy ships are on skeleton crews already, and not anywhere near as effective as they used to be. For example, they’ve struck civilian ships due to short staffing and lack of lookouts. Maintenance is a huge problem.
This was some years ago, and it was already a total mess. Is it worse now? Looks like
Also, I think meals like this indicate graft somewhere in the supply chain, or some kind of colossal fuck up. We’re a lot closer to 90s Russia than we like to think.

“It’s getting harder and harder I think for us to look the troops in the eye.”
Makes one really wonder where this massive budget for the military actually goes if not into the military.
It’s called skunk works because something always stinks about the whole affair
During WW2 in the pacific theater the navy had a ship that was used to make ice cream.
Who ever heard of a corner store before
Potential recruits: If they’re not even going to feed you properly, what makes you think they’re gonna pay for college?
Oh, that’s a tortilla! I guess it’s just the lighting that makes it look gray? I hope.
You just know these guys will do their best for Epstein after weeks of eating nothing but the finest cuisine.
“Ignore the evidence before your eyes”
I have been wondering about this. Many ships have gotten through during the US “blockade”. I wonder if our Navy captains didn’t refuse some obviously illegal orders and the lack of food is punishment.
The writing was on the wall when the navy couldn’t even build a deck to off load cargo in Gaza.
The military has been hollowed out and all that is left is a slick looking facade.
Ambiguous glistening meat slab again? We had that last night!
An army marches on its stomach. Doesn’t sail on it I guess.
Anyone with relevant experience able to tell me what the kinda grey, silvery thing on the tray is? Maybe it could be fish, but I can’t see any scales? Looks kinda like a large, used condom.
I’d rather eat an mre
Appears the cook got sole fish and sole shoe mixed up …
It’s funny, I thought it was out logistics that made our military so effective?
