Lawmakers slam "highly inadequate" food given to Guardsmen

Michigan National Guardsmen tasked with continuing to protect the U.S. Capitol have said they're being provided food that's "badly undercooked, raw, moldy, and even filled with metal shavings," according to a letter from the state's House delegation obtained by CBS News on Tuesday. Some guardsmen have been hospitalized after eating the food, the letter said.

"It is clear that these contracted meals are poorly prepared, oftentimes inedible, and highly inadequate to support our soldiers," the 14 lawmakers said in the letter, which was sent to the chief of the National Guard Bureau at the Pentagon. "It is completely unacceptable that our men and women serving in Washington, D.C., are being hospitalized due to the food they are being provided."


The letter asks that the National Guard end its contract with its current food provider and either find a new provider or give the guardsmen a per diem for the remainder of their time at the Capitol.
In his own letter, Michigan Senator Gary Peters said the guardsmen were "being fed chicken with the feathers still attached and raw ground beef." As a result, he said, the 983 members of the state's National Guard still protecting the Capitol were often forced to purchase food with their own money.

There is only one reason that the government would surround itself with armed forces while simultaneously pushing for legislation to limit or cancel its citizens 2nd amendment rights, and that is because they are getting ready to do something we would likely shoot them for.

This rotten bastard is overstepping his authority with this kind of BS. The Dems are intent on continuing to ramp up the divisiveness and its eventually going to blow up in their faces.

I haven’t looked it up yet, but wondering if this EO and others will be struck down by Federal Circuit Courts? Quite a few of Obama’s did. Not sure about those Trump signed.

It's hard to imagine at least parts of this one wouldn't get struck down by courts. As far as I know, most felons still have lost the right to vote, and maybe there are exceptions to who gets parked in federal prisons, but I don't get the thing about extending voting rights to inmates in federal prisons. You get the idea it's throwing stuff against the wall and seeing what sticks ... if we get away with this then we can try that.
