Navy food is psychological torture
Dude, this is all kinds of fun. Ramzi bin al Shibh is claiming that Navy food here is psychological terror. Now, he can willingly give up his right to be here and listen to the case, but he keeps saying he has to leave because the food is torture. So, is that “willingly” in a legal sense?
I suspect we’ll get another 3 hour colloquy about the shits now.
Hoofah.
Judge is trying to figure out how the hell to deal with this one. He is now taking another recess. We take more recesses than a kindergarten class.
Fun Fact about bin al Shibh….he’s apparently been complaining for years that the US was shaking the building while he was trying to sleep. And the prosecution and Gitmo authorities for years basically said dude is batshit. Then this year it was discovered that the foundation is unstable under the prison, and it has been doing like micro shakes. Like, the dude is in the matrix or some shit, made to stay awake by microvibrations. And now his food is torture. Lets just put his ass up in the Holiday Inn and get him some Papa Johns so we can move on with this.
Good news, he’s now leaving because he wants to go home to his cell, not because of the torturous food.
UPDATE: The website is acting funky, and updating here is somewhat difficult, so I am taking my snark to Twitter if there is anyone, literally anyone out there who wants to listen to my chuckles.

He’s probably just jealous because Hasan gets a colostomy bag.
If Navy food is torture than Army food must be genocide.
@1 That was funny, in a horrid sort of way.
No shit the food sucks, anyone could have told you that. What do you expect when you have to cook for hundreds of people all with differing tastes. Bland Bland and more Bland.
Oh BTW the torture part is usually on the way out, it is just pain going in.
They just want to make a mockery of our legal system. They know how to do it and they will continue to do so for as long as they want. No one is willing to tell the to STFU and stop with all the bs. Folks that joined the military after 9/11/01 will be retiring before any of these chuckleheads have a trial.
#5, that is too damn scary. But maybe Air Force cuisine would be more to their liking. //sarc
With colorful names like, “horsecock sandwiches”, “pillows of death”, “cat turds”, “baboon’s ass”, and “eleohant scabs” just to name a few, he’s JUST NOW figuring this shit out?
No kidding Sparky. After my first dining experience in San Diego, standing in formation while several guys regurgitated shit on a shingle and the seagulls swooped in, I knew I wasn’t at the Cordon Bleu summer camp.
Geez, I grew up with German parents and any animal body part was fair game either in a stew or ground up and stuffed in a casing (liver, kidneys, stomach linings, tongue, blood, brains, if most Americans would puke eating it we had it for supper)
…..after eating that from birth to 18 years of age I have to say Army chow hall food in the late 70s tasted pretty damn good to me at every meal, I couldn’t believe how lucky I was to have such nice food at every meal…
I even ate the ham and egg c-rations….tasted just fine to me even with the congealed fat on the top….
Well, I guess it will have to be me. I liked mess hall food. Best breakfasts I ever had.
“Stick a cork in it” has never been more appropriate.
Chow at Quantico was damn fine. French Creek area dining hall on LeJeune was really good. Industrial area chow hall on LeJeune was a pretty decent facsimile of a McDonald’s.

I liked the chow at Ft. Hood. Our mess Sgt. made fresh salsa and it was darn good. It was out at every meal and was great on omelets. You’re right, damn good breakfasts…
Let’s feed the little bastard a few hollow-pointed lead pills and see if they taste any better.
Ruh-roh- Jonn…I read your comment and waslaughing out loud while the boss (whom I am married to) was on a conference call…Shit! I am SOOO in trouble!!!!!
What? Is the feeding tube perhaps the wrong shade of puce??
Bingo, guys. Best breakfasts I’ve ever had were SOS on biscuits with scrambled eggs and toast at a mess hall where the “Mess Daddy” knew how to cook good SOS, taught his cooks how to do the same – and made sure they did.
Navy food is terrible? Pensacola had great food for all three meals in the chow hall, IF you got there in time. Orlando, not so much. I frequently had lunch at the chow hall across the airfield at NPC, because it was a small one and the chief in charge of the mess liked his job.
Great Lakes – eewww – I ate in the chow hall one time, and that was enough. It was either meat like dried leather or like boilde shoe leather, take your pick. McD’s was better. So was the EM club.
I really need to find a good recipe for SOS. I can never get that chow hall taste.
Seadog: try this recipe:

I’ve also seen accounts that some cooks used garlic and/or onions as well. I’m guessing a bit of garlic and onion powder would be a welcome add.
@20, thanks. Guess I know what I’m making this weekend.
Seadog: you’re welcome. There’s also a USMC variant at the same site:
http://www.grouprecipes.com/86723/us-marine-corp-sos.html
I’m not a big soy sauce fan, so that one doesn’t sound as good to me. YMMV.
Might try my hand at making some this weekend myself.
Shit on a shingle, horse cock and cheese, surf and turf (bologna and tuna fish)n and the list goes on.
Fuck him … I went into the Navy 5 foot 9 inches 155 pounds and I left 6 foot at 200 pounds lean and mean.
He is being fed better than his countrymen.
They should feed him till he chokes to death.
BTW … Navy chow is the best. Army chow sucks. USCG food is second. Marines don’t need food. And USAF cousine is ghey.
Let’s see if I understand this, these dickweeds are getting three hots and a cot for the first time in their life, getting to bunga-bunga each other rather than goats, have clothes to wear, no one shooting at them, nice tropical weather and palm trees, female MP’s to reckless eyeball, and they are complaining. That about it.
NH Sparky … One of my favorites … Nirobi Trail Markers.
Give him MRE,s. I just got done living on them during training. Should be good enough for him.
Naw. Give ’em K-rats, if you can find them. If it was left over from Korea and it was good enough for the guys in Vietnam, it’s good enough for them.
Best food at sea: Ye old flat-bottomed scow which shall not be named.
Best Navy food: Ustafish, the last boat I was on.
Best Tacos Gringos: Mine
Best food on a base: Breakfast at Goodfellow AFB, circa 1987
Best breakfast: SAS Radisson, Tromso, Norway
Best BBQ: Central Texan, Castroville, CA
Worst ever Military food: Mid-rats in a bag, Misawa AFB, circa 1987-90

What do you mean the website is acting funky?
Hell give ’em the vegetarian MRE’s, and if they don’t like that, let ’em starve!! Even better yet, give ’em the OLD MRE’s (Meals Rejected by Ethiopians, or Mostly Recycled Entrails) the Desert Storm-era ones, the Omelet with Ham Entree would be perfect for them!! When I was Active Duty in the early 90’s, we’d have fights over that, the loser had to settle for the Omelet!
As for Army Chow, NHSparky, you forgot “Donkey Dicks & Pubes” (Sausage & Sauerkraut)!
Lost: TSO’s down in GTMO (lucky guy). I’m guessing connectivity there is flaky and he’s having some issues because of that. I’m not seeing anything odd in the site’s behavior either.
@30 Proud Infidel
Chicken ala King…….(shudder)
C-rats Menu 12: Ham patty with beans.
At boot camp in 1965 we ate c-rats that were dated in the 1944-47 range. The city boys bitched about eating caned food that was older than they were. Hell I was raised on them. They sold them at the commissary in those days and pop always had a case or two for camping trips. I never cared for the ham and lima beans because I hate lima beans anyway. Beef stew or beans and franks were my favorites. Pop got the cigs and we got the twenty year old desiccated chocolate rocks. I have eaten in mess halls where C’s would have been Haute Cuisine.
Wait, after 30 years of eating Navy food, NOW you tell me it’s torture ?
GI Grits and GI gravy, Gee I wished I’d joined the Navy.
HALO this turd into Syria ASAP.
#35, are you okay after the shock. I can give you an Air Force time out card if you need one.
Wait, after 30 years of eating Navy food, NOW you tell me it’s torture ?
You shoulda been getting hazard pay.
HALO this turd into Syria ASAP.
And since we should’t supply equipment to the enemy, don’t issue a ‘chute.
As for Army Chow when I was Active Duty, it depended on that Chow Hall’s NCOIC. When I PCS’ed to Ft. Benning, they had an “Open Policy” regarding DFAC’s, so us bachelor GI’s weren’t stuck to our Units’ Chow halls if they sucked. Over in A-stan, it once again depended on the Contractor Crews. I swore the Chow Hall Crew on Camp Phoenix could burn water, but Bagram & elsewhere had great chow, even a lot of the FOB’S!
@39, Nik, Why not? Make him do a HANO jump!! (Yes, the “N” was intentional!!)
@37/38….I listed it on my VA claim. Should put me at 110% disabled.
Because it involves the inability for a man to actually develop an erection after a while, Erectile dysfunction is often a hassle for men.
This lack of control is a real hassle that can keep any man from feeling
as active and comfortable as possible. However, Vimax herbal pills can help people out with keeping this problem from being worse than it could be.
Revatio is an engaging topic that most folks wanna know about and you can find out more
by visiting this site; Revatio.
Ya gotta love the spambots coming through…erectile dysfunction shit in a Navy chow thread.
Saltpeter in the mashed potatoes, anybody?
Sometimes they really are seriously hilarious. Like this one. (Insert much needed laugh here.)
I reserve the right to giggle about this again later.
NHSParky, just thinking about ED as a subject for discussion in a Navy chow hall is enough to set me off laughing.
