Food

TB’s unit is based with soldiers from a European country. I won’t say what country it is, but it’s important to know that it isn’t one most people would think of. Most Americans probably wouldn’t even be able to list it as a country in Europe. I’ve heard complaints from our soldiers about these guys from the beginning of the deployment….the way they hog everything…the computers, the showers, the food. TB never mentioned it, so I asked him about it one day. He said, “Yea, it’s pretty bad.”


I noticed similar postings on Facebook pages from half a dozen guys mentioning how hungry they were because these other soldiers were taking all the food. Rather than just eat their meal and leave, apparently they stuff food in their pockets, pretty much clearing out everything. So, when our guys get back from missions, there’s no food left. Wow! That is very upsetting! Our soldiers have dealt with the extreme heat of summer, no heat in winter, living out of vehicles, and receiving mail every 4 to 6 weeks. They shouldn’t have to go hungry because soldiers who are supposed to be fighting side-by-side with them are hoarding food!
