Families of the sailors onboard are reporting that they frequently go hungry, and the disruption of mail means they cannot send additional food or supplies.
wait, families send food to active troops? is that a thing? In a military with over a trillion dollars a year budget?
Normally they send candy, powdered drink mix, snacks like trail mix, light reading materials, And presumably some sentimental stuff.

I for one support the idea of not feeding US troops. It will make radicalizing them that much easier. Way easier to convince a hungry man to frag an officer, with the promise of three square meals a day in the stockade.
Apparently it’s fudge and candy
Exactly what they need
Seems like Iran just needs to wait 🤔
I can’t comprehend why they agreed to a cease fire. Has to have been a nuke threat.
Not necessarily. It’s not like Iran is just going to twiddle their thumbs during the ceasefire. There’s really not much the US can do to change the overall situation in a couple of weeks. Their bases in the region are still destroyed, their interceptors can’t be replenished. Their navy is still in the region and still starving.
The ceasefire makes Iran look very reasonable to their partners and the rest of the world. They’re showing that they’re the sane party here, and when the US or Israel inevitably starts violating the ceasefire, Iran will be able to point to that. It’s important to keep in mind that there are both the kinetic and political dimensions to the war.
