If only American soldiers in Afghanistan were unemployed Democratic voters in Chicago, then they might be getting three square meals a day from the government.
But the military is the one place that Obama feels comfortable slashing expenses. While spending at an uncontrollable rate unseen since the last days of the Roman Empire in every other area, Obama has been cutting “waste” in the military like 20,000 Marines, Tricare healthcare for veterans and breakfast for soldiers serving in areas where he would only venture accompanied by heavy firepower.
Warren Buffett and other crony capitalists can pig out on Obama’s trillion dollar deficits. As for the troops, let them eat MREs.
The Army has stopped serving cooked breakfasts to some of the U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan as part of its drawdown, a move that prompted troops to write home asking their families and friends to send care packages with cereal, breakfast bars and other foods.
The Army told the Washington Guardian the current cutbacks began Jan. 1, and affect about 2,700 soldiers deployed in forward operating bases in more remote areas of Afghanistan.

Every time that I think that nothing else can make me lack respect for Obama more than I already do, he raises the bar another notch. Try not giving free food away or free cell phones for his supporters and hear the uproar. But to not give decent breakfasts for those serving overseas in highly dangerous areas is ridiculous.
Everyone who didn't bother voting for Romney (although obviously not a great candidate) because he is a Mormon or because the Paulbots were standing on principle shoud be ashamed. This is going to be a very long four years.

The house controls the purse strings, perhaps the cooks and white house staff need to be laid off!
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

“As a part of the responsible draw down of operational forces serving in Afghanistan, my staff examined ways to reduce our footprint and set the conditions for the reduction of forces,” explained Col. Joe Wawro, an infantry commander for the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat team.
...........
"After carefully examining all these inputs, I decided to modify the meal cycle as described above. This has absolutely nothing to do with the national budget and everything to do with our responsible reduction of forces,” he said.

What do you think the troops would eat for breakfast if they were at home? The last time I ate cafeteria breakfast food was, oddly enough, in the hospital. Otherwise, I eat rice and vegetables for breakfast. I would eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich except that I can't keep peanut butter in the house due to my uncontrollable urge to eat it.While you were hanging yourself , on someone else's words

Do you really not get that being deployed in Afghanistan is absolutely nothing like being at home, going in to work at the base for eight hours a day and then going home again? Seriously? The dietary needs between the two are MILES apart.
One of you Army guys: whats the "correct" caloric intake for someone who is deployed to an active zone these days? 3300 calories or something like that?Olde-style, states' rights conservative. Ask if this concept confuses you.
