Good fuck em. Why would you ever join the military? I don’t care if you’re stupid and poor, I’m stupid and poor, I’d never join that dumb shithead factory
Only the best for the supercops! ACAB
Good. I hope they starve. Fuck them.
Well deserved.
What actually is that first image? It’s gray, what food is gray?
Looks like some carrots, a hamburg steak (ground beef patty) and a piece of roast beef, like what Arby’s and similar fast food places serves, where the beef just comes in a plastic bag with basting juices and you basically just steam/wet bake it. Not a whole lot of opportunity for maillard browning to happen in a wet cooking environment like that, and when you cook beef hard for a long period of time (a good way to make sure it’s safe to eat), it ends up grey in color.
The finest quality of gruel for their troops, thanks for their service LOL
Hilarious, good for them
Wait untill you see what they eat in the field its even more luxorius!
It’s really disgusting to think that politicians eat pretty well and the army who dies for them are eating this stuff while they are killing minors in the middle east
Nah. These bootlickers deserve much worse.
Not worse than the people issuing their orders, which was kind of the point I think.
Maybe that’s why you don’t sign up for their murder squad.
It’s even funnier when you consider that this has been the case for millenia
If the US ever tried to invade Canada, we could probably convince the soldiers to change sides with something as shitty as Tim Horton’s.
We have it in some of our northern states and we are not impressed. You can do better than that.
I know we can. I’m saying our trash is better than your military’s trash.
I find it crazy as hell that poutine isn’t super common down here. Fries with cheese and gravy? That should be our national dish, damn it!
That sounds like the sort of food I’d make while black out drunk. Or is some North American thing where the words cottage cheese and gravy mean something different.
Diners have disco fries or loaded fries. Fills the same niche.
hesgeth and the top brass, and his department had luxury dinners, lobsters, king krab, wine,etc. and free expensive PIANOS.
This is uplifting not infuriating.
In the royal Australian Navy, we got fed ridiculous amounts of potatoes au gratin, sans the gratin. It was like big trays of thin -ish sliced potatoes, drowned in white sauce, and walked past a tepid oven. The potato was still mostly raw. Thankfully nobody seemed to like the broccoli but me (because it was unsalted), so I’d get a mountain of broccoli and jazz it up with salt, pepper, and butter pads.
I think we got some kind of meat but for the life of me I can’t remember any specific meat dish except an inedible beef stroganoff with a thin gravy made from what tasted like all the burnt bits scraped off all the other pans, blended in some dishwater. That thing would ruin your day.
The hardest part was only having about 30 minutes to eat, and that included standing in line, which meant you were calorie constrained by how much you could stuff in your mouth in the 10 minutes of sitting time.
They didn’t like unsalted broccoli and couldn’t work out how to sprinkle salt on it?
MRE food gives me diarrhea
Isn’t that the opposite of what they are known to do?
pro tip: stop fucking joining this shitshow.
only way to pay for colleges for many people, otherwise nobody would join at all, thats how they can get cannon fodder, although most choose non-combat roles.
You think I care that the only way for them to go to college is to go and murder people in the country I’m from. Fuck them and fuck anyone who makes excuses for the American empire.
Seriously. Oh its ok, you needed to work at Auschwitz to pay for college.
They have the option of just not going to college.
Or do you think I should be rewarded with more university by kidnapping, torturing, and killing your family?
service guarantees citizenship
i couldn’t afford college. Didn’t join. Ended up a software engineer. 🤷♀️
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.
EDIT: Holy moly. I do not condone US imperialism at all. I am not saying that people who fall into the poverty draft get a free pass either. What I AM saying is that the US war machine is a fucked system that results in endless atrocities abroad but unfortunately will only to continue unless we dismantle the institutions that blindly draw people to the machine so that these people who would otherwise be vulnerable can wake the fuck up and turn away from it. These systems include capitalism, propaganda, imperialism, jingoism, a failed education system, etc… Chill out friends.
Would it be okay, then, for me to rob, torture, and kill your family if it was the only way for me to get higher education (i.e. something that is not necessary to live)?
What about the families these monsters kill that won’t be able to receive higher education on account of being dead or kidnapped?Strawman but good
not a strawman. literally every role in the military is involved in the murder of children. every. single. role.
Why “strawman”? They are literally saying that that is perfectly okay to do for USians against people elsewhere. Why can’t you also say how it would be so good if you were on the receiving end of this poverty-alleviating programme?
Also, again, what about the poverty and education of the families these soldiers kidnap, torture, and kill?
would you say the same for ICE? they also recruit from poor migrant communities because they’re most desperate and the pay and perks are good - would you say they’re justified in joining and terrorising the ones that didn’t?
and while I 100% agree that propaganda and the system failing them is the main reason driving that - we don’t counter the propaganda by normalising the poor-to-terrorist pipeline as “well the system sucks but you gotta do what you gotta do” - there are red lines and if we could collectively resist them - we starve the system from being able to force people 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.
Is surviving a reason for doing something bad?
I’d say yes and anybody that disagrees has probably never been in that situation.
There is a reason the military recruits the poor.
there are lots of ways to ‘survive.’
let me ask you question: what’s worse from a moral standpoint: stealing an old ladies purse or killing someone? what about pitching a tent on land that someone else owns? what about parking your RV in a wal-mart parking lot overnight?
some of those things are crimes and you’ll be looked down upon even if you don’t get caught.
so, why do we say ‘thank for your service’ and then turn around and see the thief as less than human?
i’d rather have someone poach on my land than bust into my house and shoot me in the face. i’d think anyone would feel that way.
That whole thank you for your service thing is also distinctly American. No where else does that.
You either agree that the people your empire has been invading have a right to defend themselves by eliminating your ss troops, or you think that your ss troops deserve to survive and get higher education.
Which is it?the reason is capitalism. but it doesn’t excuse those who voluntarily join.
Surviving is when you go work for or McDonalds or Uber not kill brown children. Such a pathetic excuse for mass murder. As if these people had no other option. In reality becoming a mercenary mass-murderer is just a bit more lucrative than flipping burgers.
You have no fucking clue what you are talking about
You are saying that it is okay to torture and murder foreigners for money (and college)
Spoken like someone who’s never truly known desperation or genuine hunger. ie. One of the bourgeoisie who’d be first against the wall.
Putting the fed in feddit. Loser.
What are you talking about the average US militant isn’t poor at all and even the poor ones could easily work somewhere else. You’re just doing mental gymnastics to excuse doing child murder for money
No, I’m pointing out the hypocrisy in you pretending to know what it is to be desperate, that you can judge others in such a position.
I ain’t justifying diddly squat.
Edit: For clarification, watching the fall of the American empire in real time is both amusing and enlightening. Hopefully, it happens fast enough that I get to see the end result.
If you can join the most expensive military in the world, you are not nearly as desperate as, for example, people who survive in NATO without that.
Also nowhere near as desperate as the people whose countries NATO keeps invading.lol. seems like you know what bourgeois is huh? careful with all that edge.
bone apple tea!!
US soldiers describing a better meal
That was insanely good. Bravo.
