Bush and Cheney were ravaged over not providing armored humvees, and body armor. This article mentions FOOD AND WATER!!!!!!! This is basic stuff! WHY?!?!
talking about the war, where are all the leftist anti war goons protesting against Øbama? We haven’t heard a peep from them or the media attacking Obama on the war or the war dead. Figures.
Visit anysoldier.com to see the types of food items they are requesting. Support our troops-they are hungry, in addition to everything else. Money for everything and everybody under the sun, except the hardworking Americans. Typical Barry.
Oh you missed the report.
The General says that he is rationing the troops to one meal a day.
Closing Burger King, and subjecting the men to 8 mile runs, for strength building.
UH HUH
Paging Oliver North, your next assignment . . . can we hope that Fox will report??
can we get this story on drudge..please post it for him
I’ve never heard of this web site. Can we be sure this is true?
Here is another quote from the article.: ,”there are no beds, no showers, no toilets and no electricity. Chickens and ducks roam the bare dirt yard amid scraps of trash and rotting animal dung. Fleas, flies and filth are the grunts’ constant companions.” They doubt they will see permanent living crates or even cots. They sleep with flees and chiggers and have very little food available to them.”
IF this is true, the military is being subjected to conditions that lead to disease.
This CAN NOT BE ALLOWED TO STAND.
Wheres Whorealdo and Shep? Or do they only go after Bush.
If the military chain of command at the division and corps level are not able to immediately address these requirements within 48 hrs then they are grossly incapable of defending the US from enemies of the Constitution either foreign or domestic.
IMHO, the US military has been reduced to Bn sized units which barely function at regimental level and are tipe for attack at corps to army, to front level. I suspect their planners don’t even grasp the meaning of any military organization deeper than division or task force and their daily logistics are challenged at above the Bn level.

A lot of places are much worse than these pictures.
Afghanistan is a horrible place
When they talk about having Burger Kings etc this is only on the two main bases there . If you are not on the main bases or your job takes you off the bases it is really horrible in some of the more remote areas.
They have just decided to shut down all the fast food franchises on these bases. So I guess that might be the problem.
We, armed forces, serving at home and abroad, are still waiting.
Being the President is hard. Apparently.
I just got email from a friend over in Afghanistan: they confirm the story, but are unable/unwilling to give details.
i received this reply from MomofMarine that I linked this story to.
My son is a Marine Gunny Sgt. presently in Afghanistan. A few days ago, I sent him that article and asked him if it is true. Here is his reply, which I received today: “Not in the slightest.”
Believe me, I can easily believe any horror story regarding this administration, so when I heard our troops were going hungry, I was livid. Now I am glad to know my son and his Marines aren’t starving over there while they are putting their lives on the line for us. There is plenty to complain and worry about these days, but this isn’t one of them.
My reply to her and all of you is:
I am glad it is not true...for him. Gods speed to him and Gods blessing to both of you!
I had another freeper say it is. I am wondering how many different units there are and are some well supplied and others not? I just want to get to the bottom of this!!!!
Any help would be appreciated...............And I do thank you for your reply. That makes me feel a little better. I too was very upset when I read this and have been posting it every where I can ever since. I just wrote my Delegate (Con Glenn Nye) about it.
Folks where do we go from here...if this is a non story, great but if it is true...I MUST do something.
And you have to wonder just how much cargo space was taken up keeping the Pizza Hut and the Burger King in operation. Cutting those out will leave more room for essentials.
Take your blood pressure meds first, ping.
Thought you might be interested in this...if it is true, this is a disgrace.
