Just call these guys home their time as political props ended last week when as we all thought not a single thing happened in DC

Can't the Washington elite at least afford to give our troops a few of these:

Anyone know which states still have Guard in DC?

Also, is Deep State still employing private security (ex: that company from HI)?

If so, whom, how many, and whose paying for them? And if it’s federal taxpayers, who authorized that?

I lived around Arlington in 2010-to-2013. A breakfast ‘bag’ usually consisted of a bigger-than-average muffin, an apple, and a big cup of coffee...costly around $5.99 (at the grocery two miles from my Pentagon job). If you wanted a real breakfast at some local place...it was in the $12 range for coffee, juice, super-stack of pancakes.

Where’s the traitorous POS Milley? Instead of changing the foam in his kneepads he should be taking care of this problem. Screw the National Guard Bureau, this is a component of the US Armed Forces being treated like this on his watch. Milley himself can stand to miss a few meals.

MRE’s are a great improvement over C-Rats. Chicken. Pork, or Beef diodn’t matter which one you got it tasted the same as the others. I was a dog handler, and my dog wouldn’t eat the crap.

Hopefully, our NG men and women learn from this that D’rats do NOT respect them, or any military rank and file.

Heard very little about the out-of-country military vote numbers this last election. Wonder what % of their ballots never got counted. Bet it’s high.

“MRE’s are a great improvement over C-Rats.”

We had C-Rats when I was in.
Not bad, but boring after a while. You did get a P38 with every box of 12 though.
They eventually changed to Long Range Patrol Rations (lurps for short, or was it to describe what happens after eating).

Typical Biden’s....while Lady Jilly hands out cookies as a ‘reward’ for their service.

Bidens are well known for their cheapness to others and selfishness.....they don’t have even a little charity in their makeup.
