    [2026-04-17] @clashreport: 📸 Meal onboard USS Tripoli amphibious assault ship.

    A small scoop of shredded meat and a single folded tortilla.

    You know, maybe the Toilets Just Did That when the navy had issues before 🤔

    This is reminiscent of Chicago Public Schools

      Looks like they had five seconds to prepare food and somehow wasted half of it trying to arrange the silverware in strange ways to distract from the pathetic meal.

        Shouldn’t they at least have a giant Raytheon Instant Pot to make decent barbacoa? It’s not even hard you just need a blender, can do it with mostly canned stuff & onions. Ghastly

      I remember a documentary about military food years ago, especially on ships, and how it was one of the more important aspects of military life. Especially when it’s aboard ships, to keep morale up. So if this is what the average person on these ships is eating, no wonder they are lighting them on fire. lolit also shows just how bad things have gotten. Theirs literally not even enough cash going around to keep them fed properly.

      But don’t worry soldiers, you starve so that a handful of billionaires can see their shares go up.
