Reddit post may be fake, but issue is leftists using media to hurt U.S. by posting anonymous photos to prove some sort of abusive conspiracy. Armed forces have complained & joked about food for centuries. Timing of this is designed to hurt morale & win midterms. Time will tell if your strategy succeeds. reddit.com/media?url=http… share.google/YF7Jk4il209hyK… reddit.com/r/navy/comment… imgur.com/gallery/few-me… reddit.com/media?url=http…

@MacPost15 @evanhill Yeah, the navy has been serving shift food for a long time, but that’s besides the point. You said the image was from 2017…. and its not, because none of the links you posted have that image. Why are you having such a hard time following your own argument?

Images of food being served to sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Tripoli, published by USA Today. Supplies "are going to get really low" and "morale is going to be at an all-time low," one sailor messaged his mother: usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

@NotAvgLiberal Please, please don't leave. Please overstay your travel visas and go off the grid and live there illegally for the rest of your lives.

Today we’re leaving Europe. We visited Rome, Trastevere, Vatican City, Venice, Barcelona and Madrid. Not a single MAGA hat. Not a single Trump t shirt. Not on any tourist, Not in any shop. Not a single cop or law enforcement officer wearing a mask, Not a single law enforcement officer beating the shit out of anyone, for any reason. Europeans make it perfectly clear. They don’t like or approve of Trump. I’m going to miss it here.

@Fred_Blurst @evanhill Gee wiz. I guess our Navy has been starving sailors for a long time.... reddit.com/r/shittyfoodpo… reddit.com/r/navy/comment… reddit.com/r/pics/comment… reddit.com/r/navy/comment…

@MacPost15 @evanhill Sounds like you just posted an AI summary that has ingested the fake image search screenshot and thinks it’s real, lol. This is just plain embarassing for you.

Ask Grok yourself - Reverse-image search results (via targeted web searches on the exact captions, dates, resolutions, subreddit, and visual elements from your screenshot): The photo inside the screenshot — the metal compartmentalized tray with a spoon, orange food bits (carrots?), brown mush, and the large flat gray “bullet/shrapnel” object — has no legitimate historical, journalistic, or original source. It is a recycled meme image that first appeared (or at least was first widely posted) on November 1, 2017, in the joke subreddit r/ZappaCircleJerk (a meme community literally created the same day the post is dated). reddit.com +1 That 2017 Reddit post is the earliest traceable version matching the exact image (same angle, lighting, food placement, object position, and 640x480 resolution shown in your screenshot). It was posted with no serious caption — consistent with the subreddit’s shitpost/meme style.How the same photo has been repeatedly recycled with fake captionsSince then, the identical image file has been stolen and reposted dozens of times with completely made-up backstories to go viral: March 14, 2024 Instagram post: Captioned “photos from the iran-iraq war, 1980-1988.” (Exact match to the bottom post in your screenshot.) No connection to the actual Iran-Iraq War exists — real photos from that conflict (widely archived) show combat, soldiers, and equipment, never this cafeteria tray. Searches for the caption + tray/bullet return only this recycled meme, not any war archive or news outlet.instagram.com October 6, 2024 Instagram/Threads post: Captioned “in 2014, amateur photographer jeff templin captured two photos of ...” (Exact match to the middle post in your screenshot.) This is especially blatant theft: Jeff Templin’s real 2014 photos are of a mysterious black triangular aircraft (often called the “Wichita Triangle” or “Flying Dorito”) flying over Wichita, Kansas. That story is well-documented and unrelated to any food tray. Scammers simply copy-pasted Templin’s famous caption onto this unrelated meme image for clicks.instagram.com No earlier credible appearances exist. Searches for “bullet/shrapnel in mess tray/food tray” + military/cafeteria context turn up unrelated real incidents (e.g., a 2004 Iraq mess-hall bombing where a tray was knocked over, or a 2020 hunting post about finding shrapnel in game meat), but none match this exact photo. instagram.com +1 Bottom line from the reverse searchThis is textbook low-effort misinformation recycling: 2017 → original meme/joke post (no context). 2024 → slapped with Iran-Iraq War label. 2024 → slapped with Jeff Templin UFO label.

@MacPost15 @sentdefender Why dont u post the direct link to the said reddit post then?

Pictures published by USA Today show meals served recently to Sailors onboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), as well as Marines serving on the USS Tripoli (LHA-7), an America-class amphibious assault ship, both of which are currently deployed to the Arabian Sea in order to enforce the ongoing naval blockade against coastal areas of Iran.

"according to info supplied to DOJ & White House officials" Typical pseudo-journalistic device used by Atlantic & other leftists to give claims institutional weight & imply it was taken seriously by the government. But it's all DC gossip & BS from a bad reporter w/ political motives.

EXCLUSIVE @TheAtlantic On multiple occasions Patel’s security detail had difficulty waking him because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to info supplied to DOJ and White House officials. A request for “breaching equipment”was made because Patel had been unreachable behind locked doors. theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

@MacPost15 @evanhill Fake screenshot, you can literally search yourself

• The original post highlights USA Today images of recent low-quality meals like gray processed meat, dry patties, and minimal carrots served to sailors on USS Abraham Lincoln and Marines on USS Tripoli during Arabian Sea operations enforcing a blockade against Iran. • USA Today’s April 16, 2026 article confirms service members shared photos of meager portions amid supply concerns on these ships, but the specific image’s age indicates possible repurposing or misattribution rather than a brand-new capture The image has been confirmed to be from a Reddit post from 2017

@MacPost15 @evanhill That’s a fake screenshot. It’s already been debunked. You can run a reverse image search yourself and see that the image doesn’t come up at all from before this week. Maybe take a moment of self reflection and ask yourself why you fall for fakery on the internet so easily

@AmericaPapaBear Looked like he was pulling his punches a bit. When I first saw this in 2024 I thought he was landing full shots but reviewing it again it looks like the kid is covering up well - absorbing strikes without taking too much damage. Seems to be using the "Curlupinaball" technique

MUST SEE: Black bus passenger SPITS on the bus driver and the driver RESPONDED BACK! Footage shows the driver handling the passenger for the disrespect! Do you think he took it too far?

@mmpadellan @grok grok is this true? Are sailors being underfed and does Trump "want to leave them out there"

Starving Our Sailors: According to a report, sailors on the USS Tripoli are "hungry all the time" because the blockade has made only "skimpy" meals possible. And trump wants to LEAVE THEM OUT THERE if his negotiations fail again. Disgusting betrayal.

Krassenstein is right - negotiations involve trading nuke restraints for economic relief (like JCPOA), & Minab tragedy+war costs are real. But he overstates the asset amount, ignores U.S. denials of any unfreeze deal, & downplays differences in duration/verification post-strikes. The "expensive round trip" is a common anti-Trump talking point, but facts show Iran’s program advanced after 2018 withdrawal, prompting a 2026 military response. Negotiations are still live, nothing is finalized yet.

Trump is reportedly negotiating a deal which would stop Iran from producing a nuclear weapon in exchange for $20 Billion in Iranian assets being unfrozen. Note that The Iranian Nuclear agreement (JCPOA) that Obama signed, that Trump tore up, did the same thing. It halted their Uranium enrichment while turning over frozen assets. In other words Trump Tore up the agreement, spent $55 Billion on a war, got hundreds of Americans injured, killed 150+ kids and exploded oil prices to try and negotiate the same basic deal that Obama did.

@FarmGirlCarrie So?

Her husband is being taken by ICE after being in America illegally for over 30 yrs. Is this what you voted for 🗳️?

@OliviaTroye So?

I was there in the White House during Trump’s first term. I never saw him pray once. huffpost.com/entry/olivia-t…
