Enlisted soldiers forced to pay for food or starve at installation after food runs out

The food supply has been unable to meet soldiers’ demand, following the introduction of kiosks to offset the number of closing dining facilities at Fort Carson, Colorado.
The self-serve style Kiosks, which feature ready-made food packaged for a quick grab-and-go affair, were designed to make up for the lack of DFAC attendance on weekends.
Many soldiers were unimpressed with the kiosks, comparing the kind of fare offered as being akin to “gas station food.”
To make matters worse, the kiosks could not reliably feed personnel over the weekend, and many were left to scrounge for food elsewhere on their own dime as a result of shortages.
