On military bases, the dietary change could result in future dining facilities serving Ezekiel bread, zucchini “pasta spirals” to replace pasta, mashed cauliflower as a substitute for potatoes and rice, and avocado-heavy salad bars replacing soft-serve ice cream machines and dessert bars.

The Military has always been the test laboratory for new social experiments.

Raise your hand if you're happy you already have a DD214.

I do miss having beans and cornbread for breakfast.
And creamed foreskins on toast. SOS not so much.

There is no escaping SJW control freaks. We have tried ignoring them, we have tried accommodating them, and the next step on that path is surrender and subjugation. I say it is time to push back hard.

I also have a suggestion for improving the military.

1. No faggots
2. No trans-whatevers
3. Keeps chicks out of combat units
4. End 18 years of policing Muslim countries

Hmmm... Keto-crotch might give away a units position!

Can't it?

This will have 'em lining up at the recruiting offices.

I really don't need a sarcasm tag, do I?

I received mine about 45 years ago.

This article sounds like semi-satire. We had some pretty hard core drinkers on our crew. We didn't drink out at sea. We were more accomplished drinkers when on shore. I just don't think a ban on booze would have worked.

I have my DD-214. I don’t get the beer part? The only time I ever saw alcohol in a chow hall was Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Now they will all be too depressed to perform.

Soldiers in WWII managed to win a war with Lucky Strike cigarettes included in there food rations.

Michelle Obama School Lunches for the military?

What to they want to do, make them so hungry that they’ll eagerly polish off the backstock of C Rations sitting in supply depots?

So glad. There’s no way I could serve in today’s freak filled SJW military.

I’d be doing time down by the Missouri River.

Wouldn’t it be easier to give them free cigarettes in combat?

Are they insane?

When I was in the Rangers, and we were not in the field or deployed somewhere, the first place I headed when I got an hour or two off, was the Pizza Pub for a pizza and a beer.

The last thing I needed in those days was a ‘keto diet’.

Heh! The Chiefs on my ship had lobster tails and steaks every Friday for dinner chow.
Of course they paid for it on their own.

(To this day, I blamed that for my pot belly after working the Chief’s Mess -We got the leftovers)

I not only have my DD-214 (actually, several), but I also get a monthly retirement check for my military service, which enables me to buy plenty of pizza and beer.
