This came despite nearly 60 National Guard members falling ill, with several even hospitalized after being fed undercooked and inedible meals.<\/p>\n<p>Just last week, dozens of those meals were thrown out after metal shards were spotted inside.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYesterday for instance there were 74 different meals with raw beef in them. Just yesterday the lunches, soldiers had found metal shavings in their food,\u201d a whistleblower from the Michigan National Guard said. \u201cBut these meals are, and this is what they say on the little placard, there good for four hours. No it\u2019s not. It wasn\u2019t good from the start and now it\u2019s had hours to become even more dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Several lawmakers have been calling on the Pentagon to demand better care and treatment for our National Guard troops and to replace the current meal provider. However, defense officials said they will continue to use the same food contractors to address the concerns.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sen-blunt-not-running-for-reelection-in-2022\/\">Sen.
