Born in Deutschland 1965, hometown was Bütthart, parents were not U.S. government employees. However, when father was tricked into joining the U.S. Air Force Civil Service, in 1969, with the promise that we could remain in Germany, we were promptly shipped off to Iran. Due to one of my Iranian educators being disappeared, along with her husband, by the U.S. ally Shah of Iran's Israeli & U.S. created Savak (for the then official terrorist act of promoting the idea that women can vote), and due to my U.S. citizen mother being placed on Savak's Terrorist Arrest List (for supporting the idea that women should vote, at that time the U.S. ally Shah of Iran did not allow women to vote, now they can) we left Iran for the United States in 1973, literally in the middle of the night. At the U.S. Embassy airbase the CIA operated Gooney Bird (C-47) was so packed with other U.S. citizens fleeing our ally Iran (because the Shah gave the OK to arrest any U.S. citizen for such terrorist acts as promoting the concept of voting) that we were turned away by the Loadmaster and had to take a chance on a civilian flight out of Tehran's airport.
My father told me he and my mother had three culture shocks; first when they arrived in Germany as civilians, then after being shipped off to Iran as U.S. government employees, then again returning to the United States as unemployed civilians (because so much had changed in the U.S. while they were gone, their only news source was the U.S. Armed Forces Radio & Television Service which heavily censored information about the home front).
Since I graduated high school in 1982 I've worked for U.S. government contractors and state & local government agencies (in California), convenience store manager in California, retail/property management in Georgia, California and Idaho. Spent the 1990s in the TV news business producing number one rated local news programs in California, Arizona and Idaho. 14+ years with California and Idaho Army National Guard and the U.S. Air Force. Obtained a BA degree in International Studies from Idaho State University at the age of 42.
Unemployed since 2015, so don't tell me the economy has recovered.
Eve added that he is not after money, he just wants “some sort of acknowledgement or recognition that these deaths have occurred.”
His wife died in May 2021, a week after getting the experimental vaccine. In August 2021, a medical examiner declared the 44 years old woman died from “vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia”, swelling and bleeding in the brain!

On Fort McCoy a time capsule was uncovered inside one of the walls in a barracks. It was left there by the Kentucky Army National Guard’s 617th Military Police Company just as they were deploying to Iraq, in November 2004. The time capsule was actually found towards the end of 2022, but not made public until 13MAR2023 (after proper authorities, and the Kentucky Army National Guard, were notified).
Amazingly, even with extra pay specifically for food, the Department of Defense claims that 24% of active-duty military personnel are food insecure, wow!!!
U.S. Air Force photo, Hurlburt Air Force Base, Florida, 24FEB2023.
So why then has the U.S. Air Force begun its first ever mobile food pantry truck service specifically for its own Airmen? Hurlburt Field Air Force Base, in sunny Florida, began its Hurlburt Field Mobile Food Pantry service in February 2023.
The USAF is using a food truck operated by an organization called Feeding the Gulf Coast (part of the covert military operation known as Feeding America), volunteers with the Hurlburt Field Mobile Food Pantry say they handed out 5-thousand pounds of food last month. And apparently it is a once per month event, every fourth Friday of every month, unless it is a holiday. All Airmen and their families, regardless of rank, will not be turned away: “We’ll put the food in their car, and they can go about their merry way.”-Mauli Patel, volunteer

The Hurlburt Field Mobile Food Pantry is in addition to the regular brick-n-mortar (in the base chapel) food pantry operations on the base.
Is this proof the United States is in much worse economic shape than officials are admitting to, or, are ‘woke’ military personnel just fat and spoiled?
