Good thing DOGE was created by this administration to stop waste, fraud, and abuse…by this administration.

Yep, this custom goes back to the Revolutionary War. It's amazing what the lefty media and their audience don't know anything about.

Link please.

Didn’t happen.

It's a longstanding practice to treat soldiers in combat areas with a good meal from time to time.

Why do you hate our troops? Oh yeah, you are an America hating Dimwinger Cult minion.

Surf And Turf Before The Storm​

Across branches and generations, service members have circulated a widely recognized belief: when steak and lobster appear in the dining facility, something significant may be coming. Often described as a “surf and turf” meal, the combination has become embedded in military culture as a symbolic precursor to deployments, combat operations, or extended missions.


While experiences vary by unit and theatre, anecdotal accounts from servicemembers consistently reinforce the association between morale-boosting meals and periods of heightened operational tempo. The belief has become part of military folklore, shared in barracks conversations, deployment stories, and online veteran communities.



The persistence of this tradition reflects the broader role food plays in deployed environments. Dining facilities frequently use special meals to mark milestones, holidays, or moments when leadership seeks to raise morale during demanding operational periods.

Food, Morale, And Operational Context​

Deployed dining operations have long included occasional premium meals as a morale measure. Larger bases and ships may serve steak or seafood during holidays, commemorations, or after intensive mission cycles. These meals can carry emotional and symbolic weight because they contrast sharply with routine field rations or austere dining conditions.
