A Democratic organization with a national platform should launch a food drive for our soldiers in the Middle East.

It could even be a gofundme for a private contract with some company who has previously fed troops in the field.

1) It would get the troops fed, which apparently isn't happening right now.
2) It would show support and give comfort to the individual troops who have no choice but to take part in a despised action.
3) Toss in some biblical quotes about "feeding the hungry" to throw the right's hypocrisy in their faces.

It would do good, AND it would be unforgettable messaging for Democrats.

It has to be more eatable than that shady meat.
