Marines Will LOSE Hot Meal At Afghan Base

  WE SEND AID TO OTHERS WE DO NOT KNOW WHO LIVE HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD BUT WILL NOT FEED OUR TROOPS THE  THREE DAILY MEALS THEY NEED ?? DESERVE????

Marines at Camp Leatherneck in Afghanistan will lose a key daily meal starting Saturday, and they’re not happy about it.

The cuts will force some to forgo a hot breakfast and others to work six-plus hours without refueling on cooked food, according to nbcnews.com.

The midnight ration service supplies breakfast to Marines on midnight-to-noon shifts and dinner to Marines who are ending noon-to-midnight work periods. The base plans to replace the dishes long offered at midnight with pre-packaged MREs.

The moves, though unpopular with many Marines on the ground and their families back home, are emblematic of the massive drawdown of American troops in Afghanistan and the dismantling of U.S. military facilities. More than 30,000 U.S. service members will leave Afghanistan in coming months as the U.S. prepares to hand responsibility for security to Afghan forces in 2014.
