Fox News anchor Joey Jones slammed a sailor complaining about the food on the USS Abraham Lincoln in a fiery rant.<\/p>\n

During Saturday\u2019s airing of\u00a0The Big Weekend Show<\/em>, the co-hosts covered a CNN report on the conditions aboard the aircraft carrier, including a troop who didn\u2019t like the food being served. This upset Jones, a retired U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sergeant, who let out an audible sigh before launching into his tirade.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say morale\u2019s pretty low, and not just in the division, like in the ship entirely,\u201d the sailor said in the clip. \u201cWe\u2019re running pretty low on rations, I mean at some points in the day it would just be about noodles and tuna mixed in together, and that was it\u2026 Sometimes you get a corndog, sometimes you get a hot dog.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you know what I ate in Afghanistan for six months on a burner? I ate ramen noodles and had to pull the seasoning packet out because there\u2019s too much sodium, and I put tuna packets in it and that\u2019s what I ate,\u201d Jones said. \u201cAnd I was happy to have a because the alternative was an MRE or something cooked by the Afghan guy who was too stupid to be given a gun and they let him be the cook, so I wanted something spicy, test my fate, I get a bowl of whatever he made in the giant urn thing he had.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow weak are you?!\u201d he exclaimed. \u201cOn TV complaining about tuna and noodles? I\u2019m sorry, you volunteered to serve your country; you can come back and get out of the military and do like all the Democrat veterans and complain about it and make commercials and be a sellout if you want to and come up with a new way of doing things. The last Democrat president I remember deploying troops, Barack Obama, had the Army going to Iraq on a patrol basis for 15 months at a time, eating MREs. I\u2019m sorry, but you are a sitting duck on a patrol base in Afghanistan, a heck of a lot more on the fortified Navy ship in the water. You might have got bored, and I\u2019m sorry. We did have more fun getting in firefights, I\u2019ll say that, but to sit there and say it was terrible because you had a corn dog and hot dog? I would have traded a block of C4 to the Taliban for a hot dog by about July 2010.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI just don\u2019t understand the mentality. If this is a representation of who our military is now, and I\u2019m not saying it is, but there\u2019s at least enough for these trash rags to print about it. If this is who we are, we\u2019re just Rome sitting here waiting to burn. We got nothing left. It makes me fume,\u201d Jones continued. \u201cIf he said, \u2018We didn\u2019t have clean water to drink, we couldn\u2019t take a shower,\u2019 I didn\u2019t get to take a shower for six months, but still, something to do with hygiene or getting sick. \u2018There was a scurvy outbreak in the guys missing legs were only given wooden pegs instead of metal ones.\u2019 Then maybe I might have some sympathy, but to that little kid and whoever raised him, Lord help you if you ever go into a hot war on the ground like millions of Americans. I can only think what a World War II veteran sitting there, who\u2019s lucid enough today to see that and think about the six-month journey home from fighting the toughest war we\u2019ve ever fought after being there for four years, was thinking, listening to him complain like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
