I'm sorry but you would be misinformed.  I saw his equivalent of a pay stub, 
and they take out for meals, period.  Eaten or not the amount is taken out 
each month!

Nothing backward thinking about seeing the evidence of what is being done. 
I've also asked active duty personnel and they verified what I SAW on his 
statements is what happens.

And, no one expected it to be mom's house.  However, one would think that if 
they are capable of paying Halliburton BILLIONS to feed folks in places like 
Iraq then they could afford to pay a descent sum to provide a descent meal 
to the people you and others expect to save their butts.

For the record, try talking about the facts and not how you think other 
people are thinking.  In other words, remember how assume is spelled!
