|
Gut-turning pictures of food served to service members on two major U.S. warships fighting the Iran war, shared with USA TODAY by concerned family, have prompted outrage. Family and friends of sailors and Marines remain worried that the meals served to their loved ones deployed at sea are not keeping them nourished and well-fed.
|
The photos shared with USA TODAY show the half-empty cafeteria trays of two service members — one holding a meager scoop of moist shredded meat and a tortilla, the other, a handful of boiled carrots, dry burger and mysterious slice of gray, spam-like meat.

He's not a Michigan Man, but Kyle Whittingham is exactly what the Wolverines needed
|
New Michigan Coach Kyle Whittingham took a job sight unseen. So when the guy who lived and thrived with less at Utah first walked into the shining city on the hill that is the Schembechler Hall football facility on this historic campus, he was just like any other person seeing the palace for the time.
