Report: National Guard Members Sickened After Being Served Undercooked Food While Guarding Capitol
MenRec ^ | 03/04/21 | Rusty

Fifty Michigan National Guard troops have complained of “gastrointestinal” issues after being served undercooked meals and food contaminated with metal shavings, Fox News reports.

The tainted food complaints began in mid-February, were initially resolved, and resurfaced this past weekend.

In a letter to the National Guard, the entire Michigan delegation in the House reported that “contracted meals” were being used “to support the entire federal response stationed at the Capitol.”

“However, it is clear that these contracted meals are poorly prepared, oftentimes inedible, and highly inadequate to support our soldiers,” the letter states, urging them to switch contractors.

It’s hard to get good food in the garage.

Are you trying to drive away new blood? Well, obviously you are.

Where does it say there is an obligation to respond to moronic replies once something is posted? This isn’t 7th grade debate class where you have to defend an article someone else has written.

I’ve never seen you post anything worth reading or replying to.

Your complaint came approximately 6 minutes after the original post.

I’ll bet few FReepers post and then wait breathlessly to reply immediately. When I find something interesting enough to post I might check back hours later.

Chill.

I clearly don’t care what you think, and neither does spambot here.

But FR is stuck at 96% of its fundraising goal after over 2 months while spambot and friends post clickbait article after clickbait article without donating a dime or participating, all on the backs of FR donors. I care about that.

Perhaps you’d like to donate to support spambot here.

Otherwise, spare me your moaning.

Shouldn’t the governors be calling these guardsmen and women back to their states? Jeez!

She’s not exactly the best person to send out to buy food.

She was showing off to everyone her collection of $15 a pint ice cream.

Everybody else paid $6.

She’s a loony old hag.

This involves the Michigan NG which means they are under the command of Gretchen Whitmer. Surely she is on her way to DC to make sure her troops are being well taken care of.

Surely

Not so easy. As a guardsman, you are enlisted or sworn to serve for a period of time. There is no resignation process for guardsmen and guardswomen; were that the case, there would be no army in war time.

Very true. It's also true that NG can transfer to a Army Reserve unit, and avoid these stupid political shennanigans.

In the regular USAF I once put in an IG complaint that the meat on the sandwiches wasn’t uniformly green.

Andersonville on the Potomac. Will those responsible for treating our troops this way be held responsible?

One way to piss any soldier off is to serve them inedible food. It’s a complete morale killer. This has been known for centuries.

I sure hope they know they have Nancy and chuck to thank for this.

” I am just following orders”.
Like those cops who stood by while citizens were beaten up and businesses burnt down.

We are in a real war here

I’ve checked your posting history and found a plethora of identical posts.

I don’t know if you are attempting to create your own “humblegunner” niche (his has been blog pimps) or not. But you’ve been very active in your identical posts. And they are all the same lengthy cut & paste.

Thank God these young folks have smartphones.
They’d be bored out of their minds otherwise on this totally lame assignment.

The “1 of” Ping List (I also call it the Spambot Ping List) is only for spambots. You can’t be on it. You can be taken off of it by replying to a “! of” ping. Or even a donation would be fine.

Care to donate something on behalf of a spambot? FR is still sitting at 96% after two months and these spambots are doing nothing to help.

The guard that remain have been vetted by the DNC.

They will shoot us.

Let them choke on the food .
