There has been no cut. I've even quoted the DoD on this.

I'm not honestly sure what is misleading about the headline? It's nearly word for word to what is running around the world and within military news services right now?
As mentioned somewhere on an earlier page, I did a thread on this topic when it was the Army being short changed on their hot breakfasts for many of the same B.S. reasons. "budgets"...."Draw-down preparation"...."no need"... "Troops don't care anyway"... Yeah, I heard and read all that then, too and the Army wasn't as verbally clear about it. The Marines, God Bless 'em, don't mince words and are pretty outright about it.
In a Pentagon spending over half a TRILLION dollars a year....our cuts should be to a hot breakfast for fighting men, deployed 10+ thousand miles from home? Yeah...What moron thought that was a great place to start? Oh.. Er... Mr President...
No one in the Army or Marine Corps is going to starve. No one is going to be malnourished. However, if we've gotten to the point where comfort for those we're asking to fight and die in our name is measured that way? lets bring them home, cash them out and disband the military entirely. We don't deserve one with the level of people we have serving in it now. They're better than this...and it wasn't even adding something. It was just not TAKING something that already existed.

No. The Obama Administration is not taking away hot meals from troops.
Our forces are leaving theater and returning home. The cooks are the first to get on the plane, not the infantry. The support guys always go home first. No cooks=fewer hot meals.
When I was in Iraq in 2003 we never had more than 2 hot meals in a day. And one was just hot egg loaf for breakfast. Anything else we ate came from MRE's. Where was the outrage then? Marines are used to crappy food. The president is not trying to starve our troops. This is how it always happens.
Don't Panic.

FOXNEWS?....no further reading needed, it's a lie or it's misleading. the very title is a clue. I would use FOX for news, as I would use home shopping network for news.

You know that saying about where the buck stops? It has something to do with that Commander and Chief title. Now a lot of people seem very very anxious to point out how Obama is blameless yet again (is the man responsible for ANYTHING that happens in this nation?) Yet in this case? as I stated.....If he didn't know about it in advance, he can fix it in hindsight. He failed to with the Army and so no good reason exists to think he'll care either way about U.S. Marines. After all, they are simply errand boys to hold his umbrella.
