The Democratic powers that be in Washington D.C. contracted out for food to feed the Michigan National Guard. Most meals leave the Guard malnourished.
But, now a dozen of the Guard have been made sick with several having been hospitalized from undercooked chicken and food laced with metal shavings. The first thing they need to find out is if the contamination was intentional. Democrats hate the police and military.
The troops have been complaining for quite some time now about the undercooked food but the Democrats have just ignored them.
It’s bad enough that they are separated from their family but to be treated the way they have been is disgraceful.
There isn’t any reason for them to even be in Washington other than the fact that Democrats want people to believe that conservatives are dangerous and antifa and BLM is Mahatma Ghandi.
A responsible governor would pull that state’s troops from Washington immediately. Unfortunately Michigan does not have a responsible governor. They have Gretchen Whitmer.
The Guard from Michigan are not being recalled and will remain until the end of their deployment. The Guard is fortunate that Whitmer did not send them to live in nursing homes.
Soldiers from the Michigan National Guard who are protecting the US Capitol in DC have been fed undercooked, and underwhelming meals.
One Staff Sgt. tells me that metal fragments were found in meals on Sunday.

The Michigan National Guard finds the reports of undercooked and poorly prepared food provided to our service members in Washington, D.C. very concerning. The firsthand accounts and pictures of undercooked food being served clearly shows that what is being given to Michigan’s service members is unacceptable. As soon as the first reports were received, Governor Gretchen Whitmer called Acting Secretary of the Army John E. Whitley to communicate Michigan’s concerns. Other Michigan senior leaders also engaged at the highest levels of the federal government to inform those in charge and to ensure that they knew of our displeasure with the conditions. Every assurance was given that the issue would be addressed and corrected.
The Post Inaugural Security Mission is a multi-state taskforce, including Michigan’s 1000 personnel, under the command and control of the Washington D.C. National Guard. A decision was made by the leadership in Washington, D.C., to provide contracted meal service for the troops there. This contract was awarded and is monitored by the National Guard Bureau. Michigan’s Adjutant General has communicated all concerns directly to the Chief of the National Guard, General Daniel R. Hokanson, who has engaged to address the reported shortcomings of the current food service contract.
The health and wellbeing of our Michigan National Guard service members is paramount to their success as they continue to serve in missions in the United States and around the globe. Senior leaders of the Michigan National Guard will remain personally engaged with this issue and will continue to push for accountability and a solution to the ill-prepared meals being served.
