    As a former enlisted who thankfully got medical’d out of the service very early, the ONLY thing I find mildly infuriating 8s that it looks like my old school lunches.

    Why do they deserve to get better food than our children?

    Anyone still in can kiss my ass. Most enlisted joined within the last 10 years where it’s been a ShitShow since Trump1.0. I joined when I thought Obama was going to be different, but am glad I got out not long after it became clear how much he loves drone strikes. I would have just gone awol when trump showed up.

    Modern military deserves the food we give to homeless people. Once we improve the lives of those who have it worst, we can think about getting them better food.

      Honestly reminds me of frozen gyro I’ve purchased. Honestly spiced well and tastes good but usually you fry it up to be a bit browned on each side.

        Yes. You end up with a military dictatorship or rarely something better. Given the amount of military folk who love the idea behind Starship Troopers, i wouldn’t bet on the latter.

      Ohhh that’s bad. No pay and no food makes it difficult to run a ship.

      I will guarantee that you would not volunteer to go to jail and be sentenced to hard labor for your view on this. Lotta keyboard warriors that will defend a lot of people doing things to feed their family and escape poverty unless they are the US military specifically.

      • Tomorrow_Farewell@lemmy.ml ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Most of the USian military is from well-off backgrounds and none are forced to join.

        Also, do you support the countries that these people invade to lethally incapacitate these supposedly-desperate soldiers?

        source
      • dreamy@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        No, I fucking would. I have a spine that prevents me from voluntarily going to mass murder innocent Arabs.

        Lotta keyboard warriors that will defend a lot of people doing things to feed their family and escape poverty unless they are the US military specifically.

        Yes, how dare I condemn people taking money from the imperial core to murder Afgani, Iraqi, and now Iranian kids. THESE AMERICAN SOLDIERS ARE JUST TRYING TO FEED THEIR FAMILYY

    Aw, ambiguous glistening meat slab again? We had that yesterday!

    source
  • Agent641@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    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.

      They didn’t like unsalted broccoli and couldn’t work out how to sprinkle salt on it?

    My dad was on an aircraft carrier when he served. One of his favorite stories to tell was when his ship was riding out a hurricane and fishing trawlers couldn’t get into port to unload their catch. The trawlers sold the ship for next to nothing tons of the biggest shrimp they had ever seen. It took 3-4 bites to eat each shrimp. The sailors stuffed themselves on shrimp for the next week.

    • zalgotext@sh.itjust.works ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      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.

      And this is what they proudly claim to be serving, the actual portions are smaller and the food is worse. This is the equivalent of the photos mcdonalds takes for their menu.
