Situation Report
President Donald Trump recently made the decision to ban Muslims from seven countries from entering America and to build a wall along the border with Mexico.
Many have debated the ethics and legality of this decision both inside and outside the military, but all have left out perhaps its most consequential aspect: The food.
Well I say the best foods consist of spiced meat wrapped in a pita, tortilla, or other flat bread with vegetables, sauce, and, dare I say, cheese. Mexicans and Muslims happen to be the masters of this culinary blessing.
Don't get me wrong; I can't stand those dirty scoundrels any more than the next guy. Hell, I joined the military to fight Muslims. Keeping them around is purely a practical matter.
