The two pictures were sent by two different marines on that ship.

I will be calling both Senators and BoBo who is my rep, unfortunately.

AND, the USPS is not delivering care packages from home to military zips in the mideast, so all the food in those care packages is sitting there rotting because of bullshit.

And why on earth do parents have to send their kids who have been deployed CARE PACKAGES IN THE FIRST PLACE???

What the heck is wrong with this country?

Knew they had NO IDEA how things worked when Trump talked about having troops parachute into places like Kharg Island, or even the Iranian mainland. Like, fellas, you do know troops need food and can't carry a lot while parachuting into hostile territory. Then I remembered who I was talking about and said, our military people are all screwed.

Trump thinks food just appears when he yells he's hungry.

This is what happens when you have an incompetent fool with no experience in charge of the Pentagon. Pete likes to put on makeup and appear on camera, boasting about war and its warriors, while essential tasks, like making sure those warriors are fed, are not seen as flashy enough to bother with.

LEFT: What Donald is making our troops in Iran eat.
RIGHT: What Donald is giving folks at Mar-a-Lago to eat.

Honestly, I thought I was going to make this point a lot better than I can. The food at Mar-a-Lago may be richer and more plentiful, but it still looks like poorly-plated slop.
