Okay. And for those of us that haven’t served what does it mean? Fucking gate keepers, man.
Such good food is served to boost morale and mood of soldiers before the battle. In this case, before a new war. To be more precise: before war between the USA and Iran(and Israel as an ally).
Ally? The US is subservient to Israel.
Cute, you think it's a country in charge? HA
The USA and Israel serve the same master
Holy shit, I don't want another needless war in the middle east but my god do I want to see Berserker Blobby go absolutely ape shit and start wailing on everyone in his path.
Blobby!
BLOBBY!
BLOOOOOBBBBBBBBBBBY!
What master would that be?
The 0.1%!
If I’m in the wealthiest fraction of humanity, how does Israel help me? I must be missing something because I’m not aware of that connection. Are we just talking about arms dealers?
As an ally against Iran
Or less charitably we can say the president, and congress, are Israel's bitch.
It's more like Israel is our unsinkable aircraft carrier next to the gas station
I would have expected this admin to serve McDonald's and diet Coke
War is coming tomorrow.
Edit: again, I would like to add that this is wild speculation.
Right now is when the situation in Iran is ripe though with their protests.
Ripe for what?
Not a fucking chance that happens. We could assassinate a string of their leaders, they won't let a puppet take over, not a fucking chance. If anything hardliners will get in after they kill their leaders, which is what Israel wants, to keep the war going, for cause to come back and hit them again and again after peace is remade, for years. It's a forever war Israel is buying with their blackmail so they don't have to face their domestic failures in the ghetto uprising, and elections.
They cut and ran in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and that was when the U.S. was a global hegemon at its absolute peak. No way they can regime change a country that is more populous and developed than both neighbors put together.
Especially not after they have spend the last 9 years destroying their international power structures.
I mean, sure, they kan kill a few hundred thousand people, declare victory and fuck off, but they can’t do much to actually change anything for the better long term.
Truthfully I think a new war now would destroy them. If they let midterms happen
People didn't even show up for their own human rights, they won't show up because of Iran. Trump will just bomb them to hell and leave it a mess, so no boots on the ground imagery.
Oh yeah if he didn't put any boots on the ground that's different. The American people have a record of being just fine boning anywhere and anything
He's going to try the same thing as Venezuala, put in some sort of goverment that answers to him. It will be harder though.
He's all about imagery. He knows boots on the ground getting blown up is bad imagery, so he'll leave it to who the fuck knows to sort out the mess. Apparently the son of the Shah lives in the US.
Idk, it will spike gas prices presumably, one thinks Iran would shut down the straits of hormuz this time, I can't believe they didn't last time though so what do I know. But it will supercharge inflation, and gas prices, 25% of oil moves through there.
Plus once a ship gets blown up, insurance pulls their coverage, and those tankers are worth like a hundred million or more, they won't risk them in a war zone without insurance.
One would think between mines, and missiles they could have dug in and pull out and shoot off then disappear, that they could shut down the straits, and that maybe last time they were holding back to wait it out and not escalating. Which was a mistake as it guarenteed Israel would want to get some more cost free hits in.
But close to the election the hyper inflation could hurt, now they've plenty of time to calm it down, assuming they can keep Israel on a leash enough to keep the gulf ships going through after.
I just looked up the original tweet. It was sent out on Friday. (20 Feb 2026)
The Pentagon Pizza index shows a weeklong 160% spike in afternoon activity at the Papa Johns 2.3 miles from the Pentagon.
The 5 closer pizza places are currently showing a bit busy, but nothing outside of the ordinary.
It's like in games when there is suddenly a room with lots of healing items and ammo you know there is a hard fight coming up
You know how they feed a death row inmate a last meal before sending them off to die. Kinda like that, only more fucked up because our troops are going to die for the machinations of billionaires and warlords.
The US won't be suffering that many casualties. Iran is powerless to respond to most of these aerial attacks and guided missiles and advanced drones. That's why they are doing it, well that's why Israel is using their epstein blackmail to get the US to do it for them. Then Israel can always find another pretext to bomb and assassinate them even after peace is declared. Forever war, a permanent foil for Israel, their bogeyman their media has crafted, despite their lack of advanced weapons systems.
I wouldn’t want to be on that aircraft carrier when the missiles sink it.
The military isn't well known for their cuisine. The exception is when they're about to deliver some bad news. Steak and lobster means you're about to get shipped off to war.
Or Christmas dinner.
Every time unscheduled good food showed up, shitty orders followed.
Gotta be well fed before you kill people.
I thought it was about how the continental army had a thing in their contract that limited how much lobster they were forced to eat since it was treated more like slop than fine dining back then. 🤔
