Men and women are not getting fed sometimes. They are in terrible heat drinking massive amounts of water on empty stomachs. It is going to be 140 degrees this summer there. Whats up with this?

The contractor that is in charge of the feeding of our troops is of course and not so surprisingly contracted by Halliburton....oh oh oh oh oh oh ring any bells? I'm not gonna name any names but the initials are Dik Cheney.

There is going to be an investigation by at least four seperate higher ups here in Oklahoma.

These people need to be fed by gosh! They put their lives in peril for our government and it's people....shouldn't they at least get to eat? You can damn bet'cha the brass is eating. And you too, Dik and Bushy.

Hmmm I understand concern..but not sure where you are getting all your facts from.

It does not get 140 degreees anyplace on earth I don't think. 120 yep, thats possible.

And where are the troops starving? They are eating for sure, just may be on light rations at worst. But they should be trained for that and you make it a bit over dramatized.

No, I do NOT defend ANYTHING our government or Cheney or Haliburton has done.

Why don't we just end this mess and bring our troops HOME! Hell, I'll treat them to a HUGE BBQ and the families!!! drinker drinker drinker flowerforyou flowerforyou

What are you talking about? I just left Iraq...we ate damn good. Where are these people stationed that don't get fed? Your message leaves out alot of details. I understand that soldiers in the Stryker units, and others like that, are stuck eating MRE's though. Maybe, the supply route was detroyed? I am not against you or anything but your message sounds like they are OUT of food.

I saw it on the news today and just saw it again. There was an email to a father about not getting to eat, several times throughout. Not once but twice. The email came from a gaurd to over 800 prisoners in Iraq. Then others stepped up with their concerns about the same thing. Then our Governor and others including our own National Gaurd unit the 145th have vowed to find out why. Then they got word back that there would be an investigation into what was happening. Then it was told that KBS was the hired child of Cheney and just renewed it's contract.

Then it was said that it gets either 130 or 140 degrees there what with the sand and all.

I know it has got to 117 here in Oklahoma.

Then it was said that one consumes lots of water and that with an empty stomach that it is hard on a persons stomach.

Oh...and this mail came from a veteran that likes their job, not a whiney little kid.

Not only that, but family members came to contact the news channel after they heard this on the news and said they had been sending food to their loved ones because some of them say they are hungry as well.

I am glad you got to eat well. Apparently some aren't. And that is too many.
