1. A link to another article

"WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - Family of Michigan National Guardsmen deployed to protect the nation’s capital say their loved ones can’t stomach the food.

Pictures Gray Television obtained from a guardsman’s wife appear to show undercooked meat, rotten fruit, moldy bread, and ‘metal shavings’ in the meals that have been provided in D.C. A video reveals what looks like a small worm moving in one dish.

“That is ridiculous and disgusting,” the wife said, “it’s been a constant on-going issue.”

That guardsman’s wife agreed to tell her husband’s story so long as we concealed her identity. Gray Television’s D.C. Bureau spoke with another family – unwilling to be recorded – who corroborated her claims."

2. Is this another "oh no, they're sleeping on the floor"

Or “oh no, they’re sleeping in a garage” kinda thing?

Obviously if real it’s horrible. But is it?

4. According to my Congress Critter, MI National Guardsman have been telling him that.

"Michigan National Guard, Rep. Bergman respond to reports of substandard food provided to troops during DC deployment

“Rep. Bergman visited with many of the troops from the First District that are in D.C. over the past week, and this issue was a topic of discussion. Per the soldiers, the food issues have been remedied, but we are still looking into it as a team to see how this happened and ensure this doesn’t happen again. As he has made very clear, Rep. Bergman believes it’s past time to get our National Guard troops back home to Michigan.”"
