It’s bad enough that thousands of National Guard soldiers remain confused as to why they’re on deployment in Washington D.C., as they sleep in parking garages and wonder when they’ll get to go home.
According to the New York Post, making matters worse for many of them is the bombshell revelation that a contingent of Michigan National Guard troops was recently treated for gastrointestinal issues after reportedly consuming food that was either under-cooked or contained contaminants such as metal shavings.
What’s going on?
Thanks to a report from an anonymous Michigan National Guard staff sergeant, it was revealed this week that contaminated and improperly cooked food has been on the menu recently, which has caused dozens of troops to fall ill.
The situation is apparently as bad as it sounds, as the staff sergeant relayed to news affiliate WXYZ that the food situation is not getting any better for his fellow troops, reporting multiple instances of bad food during the deployment.
“Yesterday, for instance, there were 74 different meals found with raw beef in them,” the staff sergeant told the news station, adding that “Just yesterday … soldiers had found metal shavings in their food.”
Wow.

The rapidly declining situation was apparently the fault of a contractor hired to provide food for the roughly 1,000 Michigan National Guard troops that have been stationed in the nation’s capital with thousands of others from various states.
“Morale is very bad”
While the troops are a voluntary, part-time fighting force that follows orders with the best of them and answers the call to service no matter the inconvenience to their normal lives, not properly feeding the troops while they’re on deployment on American soil has degraded morale to low levels.
“Morale is very bad; many have served overseas and cannot believe the quality of food they are being fed here,” one anonymous solider reported this week.
The Michigan National Guard leadership finally responded to the concerning reports, acknowledging in a statement that the first-hand accounts of what soldiers have posted on social media are disturbing and that they’re currently working to fix the situation as fast as possible.
The @MINationalGuard provided this statement today:
“The firsthand accounts and pictures of undercooked food being served clearly shows that what is being given to Michigan’s service members is unacceptable.”@GovWhitmer spoke with the Acting Sec. of Army about the situation pic.twitter.com/QEaa7G2fRB— Brian Abel (@BrianAbelTV) March 2, 2021
The entire Michigan delegation in the House also penned a letter to National Guard leadership, demanding answers and pledging to use their power to quickly fix the situation, as the last thing these fine men and women should have to worry about while deployed in America is finding metal shavings in their food.

What do you expect with LIBTARDS in charge. Everyone knows they look down on and despise our GREAT military!!!!!!
IT IS SICKENING WHAT THERE DOING TO OUR MLITARY.
Just so you know you can’t fully read your articles as it is being blacked out by ads and you cannot close them even if you hit the x 29 times. Your report is being censored!!!
Exactly, and the article, which says can be shared, isn’t so easy to share at all.
All the National Guards in and around the Capital need to go home. They did their duty and now it is time to send them home to their families and jobs. Thank you for your service to all who serve as active duty or national guard. GOD BLESS AMERICA
This is inexcusable!!
Use “Brave browser” and you will not have the ads
The Michigan Liberal Gov. does not give a rip about these patriots or she would have ordered their return home once it was clear they were being abused. Yet, she is using them to score political points w/ Elmer Fudd in the Whitehouse.
The states need to recall their troops. There is no reason for them to be treated they way they have been by these leftist RATs inside Fort Piglosi. I suspect these NG are from states that themselves are run by RATs. There is no reason for them to be there except that the RATs are working as quickly as possible to end the Constitution and they are afraid people are going to come after them.
Not surprised. Look at who’s running the show. A bunch of narcissists like Pelosi, and Schumer. Old man Biden doesn’t know whether he is coming or going so he goes along with their schemes.
How about the Politicians that want them there, eat the same food.
Give all left-overs to Biden.
This is on piglosi’s doorstep! She is keeping them there, she needs to make sure they are properly fed and housed! The governors of every state should call their troops home, and file official complaints. If Piglosi is so afraid, she should hire personal security to guard her skanky old arse instead of using the n.g. And abusing them. Impeach Piglosi!!!!!!
It makes me angry and sad that dedicated people who are trying to serve our country have to be under the leadership of corrupt politicians and are being mistreated while being provided ‘intentionally?? tainted’ food that might harm them. How despicable. May they all be well, safe and released to return home asap where they are respected and will be honored for their service. GOD bless & protect each one and flush out the evil doers and send them to jail.

Yes they are Kim. All censored and tons of pop up ads. I’m not paying to have them removed. Even on your cell phones..check it out.
That situation would never had happened if Trump and the Republicans had been in charge
Recall NG forces then if going to poison them OK Red States recall
Have Blue States do all for DC
unless troops cant react due to food poisoning.
Or find new food service vendor
Can impact morale of NG forces on duty
Bad scene
Where are the NG cooks? What does the NG do for the once a year vacation? do they sleep on the ground and don’t eat? Better yet why doesn’t some one gift her a meal. Nasty Nancy is supposed to be managing this operation!
ITS PELOSI AN SUMMER THEY ARE AFRAID OF THE THEMSELVES
Bring ’em back home and let Pilosi guard the stalag fences.
They all need to be called back home. They have been treated horribly since day one sleeping in the garage as cold is it has been and being served garbage disgraceful
Do not hold your breath as this will not go any further than this article unfortunately.
How dare Eva Pelosi & the rest of these Democrats treat the National Guard this way, they should have been sent home weeks ago! These Dems. are so transparent wanting us to think they care about WE THE PEOPLE, when illegitimate Biden calls people names, & blames the military & police for being racist, opens our boarder to every criminal & covid carrier in the world so he & the a__ h___ Democrats get more votes cause they know we won’t vote for them EVER AGAIN! Takes jobs away by the thousands, etc. This madness must stop they are ruining our country & treating the National Guard as their servants!
Send the troops home this is not a third world country ruled by the military YET. Close Fort Pelosi down take down the fencing try to return where the people can see the Capitol with out the military presence
