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.
