New photos are circulating showing the inadequate meals being served to US troops deployed during the current conflict with Iran. The photographs, taken by a serving officer aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, have sparked scrutiny regarding the nutritional support provided to service members.
A retired Air Force veteran who brought the images to public attention has reported that the officer's mother told him her son has lost 17 pounds during the deployment. The Pentagon has denied that food shortages exist on board ships operating in the region.
