The U.S. Navy is facing a serious logistics problem in the Middle East.
Around 20 ships carrying roughly 20,000 sailors and Marines need more than 420,000 meals and about eight million gallons of fuel every week.
The situation became much harder after Iran destroyed a key Navy logistics base in Bahrain and made other nearby ports too dangerous to use.
Supply ships now have to travel about 2,200 miles to Diego Garcia, or even farther to Singapore, before returning to the fleet.

Crazy stuff being spewed out there, the BBC claims no one in China is seeing footage of the flash flood at the Nepal-China border. Ppl post evidence and you still get the BBC adherents spewing away. 🤷🏻♀️
As End of Heat (chu shu) marks the fading of summer and the arrival of early autumn, it's the perfect time to enjoy Nanjing Salted Duck, one of the city's most iconic dishes. A beloved local specialty, it is known for its tender meat, silky white skin, and its light, savory saltiness.
In Nanjing, there's a long-standing tradition of eating duck during chu shu, when duck is regarded in traditional Chinese dietary culture as a seasonal ingredient for autumn, valued for its nourishing qualities. Savor a bite of this local favorite, experience the warmth of Nanjing's culinary heritage, and add an authentic taste of Jiangnan to your journey.

2 wolves inside me: 1 which refuses to sympathize with the families of imperial footsoldiers getting the most miniscule taste of the suffering they spread, & the other which recognizes the radicalizing potential in organizing these people against further military aggression 😩
"...the repeated displacement has traumatized her children"
Orly????? 🤔
In the meantime, please read my latest story about the struggles that military families are going through right now. Hundreds have been stuck in limbo after evacuating Bahrain and are facing emotional and financial hardships. stripes.com/branches/navy/20…
