Afghan refugee trolled after sharing photo of food rations at Fort Bliss

An Afghan refugee faced online harassment after tweeting out a photo showing his meager food rations at Fort Bliss in El Paso.

Hamed Ahmadi, 28, a Fulbright semi-finalist, tweeted the photo showing some anemic chicken slices and fruit to highlight the unglamorous life he now faced as a refugee.

“The point of that tweet was not … to be complaining, to be very critical,” Mr. Ahmadi told The Independent. “I was just describing a situation of Afghan refugees that are in the situation that they never really wanted to be in.”

Unfortunately, Twitter isn’t the place for nuance and he found himself quickly inundated by trolls ...

I'm going to put two more links up one of which sorta justifies the story subject's lament. The concession that handles the food really should up the caloric intake because refugees (and quarantined soldiers) are under stress and stress burns calories.

The subject of the story is a Fulbright candidate. "one of the most widely recognized and prestigious scholarships in the world". That means he's an intelligent soul and likely was just lamenting his situation.:

for comparison: meals served to quarantined troops, likely from the same concessionere

and, maybe rotating latrine crews are in order?

in fact, maybe these migrant chasing lawyers can help with the housekeeping and laundry?

A lot of people were left behind to face the Taliban.

If you were not left behind, I think I would refrain from complaining about the food. And, yes, it’s quite disingenuous to tweet a photo of the food and say, “I’m not complaining, but ...” That’s a complaint. Own it.

Pissloee can provide the "refugees" the same food she fed the troops in DC after 01-06-21.

May be allow them to sleep in a parking garage with one head for the whole.

Fort Bliss? That’s where SSgt. Cindy Bronson is posted. Maybe she could make them some sammiches.

looking at the picture in Army Time I would be pissed too.

Prison serve more and better food then this.

I going to guarantee what the Military paid for is a whole lot more then what is being served here.

Someone needs to go to jail for this.

He could be eating DIRT in Afghanistan. ..

If it is a contractor that is serving substandard food, the contractor is also ripping off the taxpayer (us).

Good thing he reported it, as if a soldier tried to, he would probably get in trouble.

She’s busy watching softball and scissoring...

He should be very grateful. It looks like something Michelle Obama herself would lovingly recommend especially for still-growing students like Hamed.

But other than that, how was the trip to United States?

Touché

Some photos of the Japanese/American relocation center in Jerome Arkansas during WW2. Notice that the internees were doing most of the work.

Make the camel molesters work, clean, and take of their own sh*t.

[patriotfury]

Thanks for posting those links.

Bronson is that far-left homosexual butch-b1tch who threatened to kill her way through the US Civilian population should we dare defy her.

She is a REMF of the lowest order, and would receive everything she deserves if she attempted such a threat.

[gundog]

A bit hyperbolic...
