Who, exactly, died and Made Michelle Obama Queen? Really, who?
Barack Obama is President of the United States, no doubt about it. He was elected, received a plurality of both the popular and electoral votes. He is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and Chief Executive of the United States. I don't like it, but he is.
Michelle Obama is a private citizen who just happens to be married to the President. That's all, nothing more, nothing less.
So why in the hell is she trying to mess with the garrison rations of the military? What is she thinking? This chick hasn't spent a day in military training, and has no idea of how much food a GI needs! Get this, a dismounted soldier or marine in combat ops, or in sustained combat training can burn upwards of 6000 calories a day. Since these operations often deprive them of enough sleep, they have to use food energy to substitute, and without it, they wear out and become ineffective. Tankers, who use much less food energy in the field, brtn over 4000 calories per day.
In garrison environments, these folks work. The proportion of calories reverses, with dismounted troops burning off 3000 or so calories (minimum) and tankers and mech troops burning 3500 or so (armored combat vehicles take a lot of maintenance, and everything on them is heavy and difficult. If you don't believe me, co down to the local National Guard armory and see if they won't let you open a hatch--you'll be stunned!).
Michelle Obama hasn't got a clue about this, or what makes the military hang together--morale. So to meet her little agenda she's going to try to feed them like soccer moms who are into Pilates and dieting. Food which she herself is famous for passing up in favor of rich treats and glorious feasts on her many taxpayer funded vacations. Not only that, she's woefully ignorant of what happens in a barracks when the food at the Mess Hall sucks--that night, the troops either go out for something 'good', or order in--usually pizza, ribs, etc.. The net effect is a worsening of troop nutrition and helth though the high fat, high salt, high sugar fast foods and take out that they eat.
Michelle needs to shut the hell up, stay out of what she has no understanding of, and realize she isn't a queen. She would do well also to realize push ups and sack races on TV do not add to her dignity, or the that of the office her husband holds.
Mrs. Obama--we didn't vote for you, we don't want your "leadership"--which starts, by the way, with example--and a great many of us find your actions clownish, fake, forced and off putting. Shut up.

Also Amen!
Ah yup!
It's bad enough Queen M wants to mess with civilian diets, but now she wants to mess with the chow our servicemen eat! WTH is she trying to do, provoke a mutiny!?
She should shut the hell up period! She and the government have absolutely no business telling anyone what to eat.
