Stung by complaints about poor food, the US Navy command showed a photo of the rations

American command was clearly offended by complaints about poor food from sailors serving in the Middle East. Initially, photos of trays for American sailors surfaced online, showing extremely meager rations—sliced ​​carrots and a "cutlet-like" substance of unknown composition. American command stated that the photos bear no relation to the actual food on warships deployed to the Middle East.

Press Service of the US Navy:

Sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Tripoli continue to receive regular meals—without interruptions or shortages.

Photographs are shown as proof of the quality and variety of food.

It is reported that the sailors receive dishes such as spaghetti with seafood and vegetables, mashed potatoes or rice with chicken fillet in batter, beans in sauce, pork or beef chops, curry, and vegetable puree soup.

Separately, after criticism along the lines of "a trillion-dollar budget, and sailors barely have anything to eat," the US Navy decided to display ship food stores—boxes of canned goods, juices, and other food items:

Some comments from the American internet:

Whatever you publish, there will still be those who will say: this is a neural network.

It's all very well, but what are our sailors doing in the Middle East now? So far, all they're doing is driving up oil prices.

There are worms in the second photo - is this normal?

This is a maritime tradition that originates from the meat from the battleship Potemkin.

There it all ended in a rebellion, and the cowboys simply soiled and destroyed the latrines...

Everything's fine. That's how it is with the latrines and worms.

The US Navy aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, en route to Iran, has encountered a major technical problem. The ship's sewage system has failed, leaving the toilets clogged and the crew waiting in lines for up to 45 minutes. With more than 4600 people on board, it's impossible to use the restroom.

[nepunamemuk]

It is impossible to go to the toilet.

Is it no longer possible to "sit" overboard?

[novel66]

A 45-minute wait? At least you can relieve yourself on the flight deck.

[Samoyed]

Yeah, right. But in Russia, at school, they teach about flushing cisterns and so on (Zadornov won't lie).

[AleksByk]

Well, they're already starting a rebellion on the aircraft carriers - they're setting fire to the laundry room, throwing rags into the sewers.

[bessonov932]

Well, yes, of course... The exemplary order on our aircraft carriers is a completely different matter!

There you go! You can, whenever you want, bring order to your aircraft carriers! Are you based in Reni?! Or in Giurgiulesti?

[TermNachTer]

Worms in sailors' food is a tradition dating back to the time of Christopher Columbus, and perhaps even earlier.

[knn54]

Three meals a day - Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

Well, in Europe they've already started eating insects, let the mattress holders get used to it too.

Protein foods... A balanced diet, as recommended by medical professionals. Protein is everywhere, whether it's cheaper or more expensive.

[Mouse]

It's pure protein! It's healthy...
Let them absorb...

[novel66]

Eat some aspen bark -
And cheer up for the time being:
Tea is not some kind of chemistry, -
Tea natural gifts!

In the juice, general,
There is a useful mineral -
From Evo from the Generals
None of them died! ..

[Mikhail Ivanov]

Worms are nothing. The mattresses themselves showed me where to hit: not the deck, but the food storage!
At first, I suggested to the SVO that the Ukrainians bomb food depots, sewerage systems, and water supply systems!

The last photo shows a woman with a box on her shoulder – try taking canned food from her, yeah...

[January]

I trust both those photos equally and these ones.
I remember when television came to us on an emergency basis - we spent a week cleaning the territory of the unit and learning the line "if they come up and ask."
And they came, took some photos and left...
But this was the only time in my service that the cafeteria offered two of every dish to choose from, and three different salads. Feel like you're in a restaurant...

Food on an aircraft carrier on video.

[snow mountain]

The US Navy has released a photo of its rations.

The entire Persian Gulf will be polluted again

[Alexander 3]

It's interesting how the malnourished people clogged the sewer system on the aircraft carrier with their waste.

[Deaf]

Maggots with vegetables?
Weekly supply:
1. Vegetables
2. Fruit
Next:
1. Canned food
For the 3rd and 4th weeks - sublimates.
In a month - fingers.
This has all been known about the supplies for a long time. They've been there for two months now. What are they trying to do? Drop a bag of food from a ripper and show photos? There are tens of thousands of mouths to feed. They were promised that "in a couple of days, everything will end like with Maduro."
It's a fiasco, bro (c) The guy was headed for success. But no luck. No luck. (c)
Who wrote that Russia has run out of missiles? We have plenty of sausages! And you? (c)

[Disant]

Deaf (Mikhail): We have lots of sausages! And you?

nevertheless, go and visit the Russian one Army rations - there are no green fresh vegetables on the dining table/in the soldier's backpack, which are present in American photographs.
because there are not enough refrigerators/freezers in military units and conditions for storing greens and instructions for including them in the diet: only onions, potatoes, and carrots.
and that's a problem.
and dying from cholesterol at 45 years old on canned food and stewed meat is quite possible.
Yes, just to be convincing almost anyone here on the forum will say for the quality of pasta in our armyand I won't even mention that we have spaghetti, which is in the photo.
I'll be happy to be wrong if anyone in our army eats spaghetti with herbs like this.

Try this: if you have US citizenship (a green card), meet the age, health, and education requirements, and pass the English language test (this, among other things, determines the number of positions available to you), certain positions will be unavailable to you as a foreigner. Your salary depends on the length of your contract.

Very sweet...Bach started playing in my stomach...Fugue in A minor...I beg you, Lord.

[commbatant]

It was immediately clear that the rumors about hunger at AVM were nonsense; half the staff there were civilian contractors for the Pentagon, who would have raised such a howl long ago.

Pearl barley (on water!) is given only to those who sit on the lip as an additional punishment.

Let them justify themselves...there will be a bad taste left...either you stole, or someone stole from you.
Everyone will judge this situation in their own way...and will gain some doubts about the "hegemon"...and he cannot protect his friends, and he cannot feed his soldiers...

[yuriy55]

I only received decent food twice: during my training at the academy and while assigned to the Army Air Corps. There was even shashlik in the mess hall. I encountered submariners' diets, but only as a brief introduction while the train was moving...
In fact, if you cook food according to the ingredients and the menu layout, even ordinary pearl barley porridge turns out delicious.
At one time, my wife worked as a dietitian in a hospital and had experience familiarizing herself with the diet...

Shotgun pellets—shrapnel, as they called it during my service. As for the food we were supposed to eat, our pork looked like chunks of boiled lard, "polar bear meat," as we called it. But technically, yes, it was pork...

[Alf]

Quote from solar

But formally, yes, there was pork...

"Comrade Warrant Officer, we are entitled to meat!
Well, if you're supposed to, then eat it.
This is not allowed!
Well, then don't eat it."

[solar]

The general comes into the soldiers' mess hall to check on things, and it's just lunchtime. Everyone's looking so sad. He decides to cheer up the soldiers:
- So, eagles, how are they feeding you?
Silence.
— Is it really that bad?
Silence.
- So, it's working out well?
Soldiers:
— It comes out well. It goes in poorly...

This is a classic army joke.

[Sergey Novikov_3]

The most impatient time we had before eating in the canteen was when our platoon commander spent a long time counting the soldiers in the column before moving out. Then we'd hear disgruntled voices from the old men: "The fat will congeal, how will we eat it?"

[solar]

Yes, combined fat and polar bear meat are two important military inventions.
And the eternal formations with roll calls at every convenient and inconvenient opportunity.

[fiberboard]

The Americans are doing just fine when it comes to food. They don't have any food pantries or supplies. Kuzhugetovich actually introduced outsourcing here too, but it all ended up in theft.

[Seamaster]

It's okay, these sailors will be fattened up in an Iranian concentration camp.

[Soldatov V.]

I apologize, of course, but given all this squabbling about food on enemy warships, it would be a good idea to look at the diet of our naval sailors, and civilians too. And, in general, what our defenders in the various branches of the military eat. What's the difference now between the lowest category of food and the highest, for example, according to flight standards or submarine standards? Fifty years ago, I was on duty at a soldiers' mess hall, setting the table and cleaning for 5,000 people.

[Lako]

Let's just keep an eye on them. Only Allah knows how long these carrier groups will be hanging around there. And if they're already complaining about the food, what will happen when everything canned is used? The Soviet Navy had "spirit" bread, which was evaporated before consumption, and biscuits in zinc cans with an indescribable aftertaste. Serve it once, and the American sailors wouldn't care whether the latrines worked or not.

[uncle Vlad]

What, they sent the girl to carry boxes. They could have sent a black guy, for the cubic capacity, canned goods. She'll weigh 12-14 kg. She looks worn out. Equality, after all.

[Russia2014]

..why do we write and comment only about our enemies.....?.., why don't we write about our army....?? ..., about its supplies, whether our guys on the front lines are provided with everything they need, whether our soldiers have everything......
