what this story fails to mention is it is part of the president's new diet plan for overweight soldiers.

"When I went to Baghdad recently, they had a big buffet of food at every stop,"

Because there's no chance in hell the buffets were set up specifically for Mary's dog and pony show.

W.T.F.

FTA: "When I went to Baghdad recently, they had a big buffet of food at every stop," she said. "It may just be an isolated incident at the location where they are stationed or it could be an issue of quantity."

The one thing the military has always done for its troops is feed them. MREs or buffets, there is always something. I'm guessing it's not a lack of food, but a lack of giving them a lunch break. If they don't even have the food to begin with, someone needs to get fired.

 
jbc [TotalFark] 2008-04-25 02:47:13 PM  
If only he realized it's just as hard to put food on our soldiers as it is to put food on our families.

I know you've been beat up for this already, but the Durant Daily Democrat has been in print for a century. Rarely do publications with a strong bias for a political party last very long.

Just like the "Christian Science Monitor." Their reporting has little to do with Christian Science.

Furthermore, in 1901, when the Durant Democrat was formed, it wasn't the "gay-rights-terrorist-loving-America-hating" Democrat, that you assume all Democrats are. It was the "Strom-Thurmond-let's-make-sure-the-black-folk-don't-mix-with-the-white-folk" Dixiecrat.

To summarize: FAIL.

Hey, Bush apologists: explain how THIS is ok. Explain how you can still say that he supports the troops. Any of you. Oh wait, you're running as fast as you can from this thread going "LALALALA I can't hear you!"

True, only a liberal paper would report about not supporting the troops, a conservative one would say everything is a-ok and spin it.

Good catch.

Dear Stupid anti war farkers,

As a soldier out in the desert I can learn to appreciate my 12oz of haliburton piss water and tubed transfat that is supposed to last me a week out in the desert.

At least I have 3 bullets and no armor.

I see no point of this article.

I get 12 square meals every 18 months, more than enough food for a 10 year old somalian for a week.

Please send me socks and underwear. they only gave me 1 pair.

Sincerely

Army Guy in Persian Gulf

Not to mention the primary definition of the word "democrat" is: "One who is an adherent or advocate of democracy, or government by the people." There is a certain political party whose members call themselves "Democrats," but there are plenty of newspapers (including a couple around here in small mountain communities that are ultra right wing) that have called themselves the "Democrat" for 100 years or more, and named the paper with the dictionary definition in mind rather than as a reference to any political party.

In other news, my local paper, the Sacramento Bee, is neither published by nor read by insects!

kntgsp: They tell me the National Guard are the punchline of every fat joke in Iraq.

The number of people in my guard unit who are overweight outnumber the number of people who are in decent shape.

The National Guard is full of a bunch of fatties. There is no denying this, and I think it's horrible.

They surely wouldn't do anything extra, to give people touring iraq to assess the situation, to make things look better than they are, would they?

PullmyHair: It's about time we start taking lessons from those poor Haitians and feed our troops the mud cookies.

Hey PullmyHair. I have to say something here because I sense a certain degree of hostility coming from you in many of your posts...

Did you ever see the movie "Kelley's Heros"?. You know, Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, and Donald Southerland. Fun movie, right? And Southerland's character is this kind of whacked out guy on the tank and his driver mechanic is the captain from The Love Boat. Yeah, his name escapes me but in Kelley's Heros his name is Moriarty and he's always biatching and moaning about shiat. And Southerland (who is referred to in the movie as "Oddball") is always ragging on the Love Boat Guy for being negative. "Always with the negative waves, Moriarty, always with the negative waves," he says.

So I just wanted to point out that I have noticed that you seem to be laying down the negative waves, and I would entreat you to think beautiful things man, think beautiful things.

I should also mention that there are plenty of newspapers around called the "Republican," and similarly, I assume that papers such as these named their newspapers with the dictionary definition of that term in mind: "One who favors a republic as the best form of government." But you would have to ask some of these guys to be sure:


Um... that's because they are all always right. Duh.

It's a Democratic congress right now libtards!

I'm the opposite of a Bush apologist, yet I have the werewithal to be interested in the situation yet reserve my contemptuous outrage for further details or independant confirmation of the situation.

I'm calling shenanigans on this.

SHENANIGANS.

I know several people that have been specifically to camp Bucca - including recently - both military and civilian and none of them were being deprived of farking food. In fact, they all had complimentary things to say about the food.

I think it's more likely someone's little snowflake is in over her head, and decided to gripe to someone back home who is blowing shiat out of proportion.

Shenanigans!
