Army swears its soldiers in Germany don't need food banks

The website for a U.S. Army base in Germany provided a list of available German food aid services, highlighting the fallout experienced by many as the GOP’s government shutdown rages on.

After the listing was first reported—raising questions about why military members and their families would need these resources—the information was scrubbed from the website. The Army claimed that the list was intended for “German employees” on the base.

But it should be noted that, under current Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the Department of Defense has often misled the public on matters both trivial and consequential. It has also embraced partisanship and censorship of Pentagon reporters.

Thanks to the GOP shutdown, there has been a spike in military families seeking aid from food banks. Cori Kauk,
