USA Today Posts Pictures of Gross Supposed Navy Meals, but Forgot Vets Would Fact Check Them - and It's Brutal

Hoo, boy, did the legacy media really have President Donald Trump and his policies dead to rights this time.

On Thursday, readers began seeing photos of meals being served to U.S. service members serving in the Middle East being posted on social media, and they were brutal. They made Michelle Obama’s school lunches look good.

The photos were first published by USA Today, under an article titled, “Cookies, deodorant, socks. Iran war puts military packages in limbo.”

From that piece, by Cybele Mayes-Osterman:

Dan F. was alarmed when his daughter, a Marine aboard the USS Tripoli, a warship deployed to fight the Iran war, sent him a photo of a meal served on the ship. A lunch tray, two-thirds empty, carried one small scoop of shredded meat and a single folded tortilla. #anyclipvideo{min-height:460px;margin-bottom:10px;}@media only screen and (max-width: 780px) {#anyclipvideo{min-height:200px;}} if ( getCookie( "ff_subbed" ) ) { document.getElementById("anyclipvideo").remove() } else { document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() { function loadAnyclip() { const container = document.getElementById("anyclipvideo"); if (!container) return; const script = document.createElement("script"); script.src = "https://player.anyclip.com/anyclip-widget/lre-widget/prod/v1/src/lre.js"; script.setAttribute("pubname", "westernjournalcom"); script.setAttribute("widgetname", "001w000001jULVcAAO_M12924"); // append inside the container so player shows in correct spot container.appendChild(script); } function findPreviousParagraph(selector, x) { const targetElement = document.querySelector(selector); if (!targetElement) { console.warn("Target element not found."); return null; } // Get all

elements in order as they appear in the document let paragraphs = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("p")); // Find the index of the last

before the target element let targetIndex = paragraphs.findIndex(p => p.compareDocumentPosition(targetElement) & Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING); if (targetIndex === -1 || targetIndex < x) { console.warn("Not enough paragraphs before the target element."); return null; } return paragraphs[targetIndex - x]; } // Set up IntersectionObserver function observeElement(element) { if (!element) return; const observer = new IntersectionObserver( (entries) => { entries.forEach(entry => { if (entry.isIntersecting) { console.log("Paragraph is now visible:", entry.target.textContent.trim()); loadAnyclip(); observer.disconnect(); } }); }, { threshold: 0.5 } // Adjust threshold as needed ); observer.observe(element); } // Find the 1st paragraph before #anyclipvideo and observe it let paragraphToObserve = findPreviousParagraph("#anyclipvideo", 2); observeElement(paragraphToObserve); }); } A picture of a mid-April dinner on the USS Abraham........
