Starving Our Soldiers In Iraq While Getting Rich
April 24, 2008
Oklahoma National Guardsmen are having to work 10 hour shifts without food in Iraq according to allegations being made by some of those serving in Oklahoma’s 45th Infantry Division. They are being forced to skip meals and being starved it seems.
U.S. Rep. Mary Fallin and U.S. Rep. Tom Cole have asked the National Guard and the Army to investigate the matter. If this turns out to be true, this will be one of the most disturbing and disgusting issues to come out of this war.
Here we have defense contractors getting rich, oil companies getting rich, PMC’s getting rich…and yet they are withholding meals from American soldiers? I urge everyone to urge your elected representatives to look into this matter and call for an investigation. Make this an issue that the mainstream media must pay attention to!
Here our President is talking about the SPP in New Orleans and all the benefits we’ll get from partnering with Mexico and yet we’re starving our soldiers fighting our wars? What the hell is wrong with this picture? Some of my great uncles served with the Thunderbird Division in WWII, and as these are fellow Oklahomans suffering this stupidity, I take this personally.

Reading about our boys and girls starving while thousands of pounds of unopened food and drinks is thrown out in the garbage dumps of the Green Zone is despicable. A Lt. Colonel I believe got fired for exposing the dumping of food and junk metal in the land fills in the Green Zone. Starving Iraqi children line the fences for a chance to get in and grab something to eat or drink with the chance of being shot. I thought things might change but sounds like the same old song and dance.
