    From what I’ve heard about MREs feeding them to someone could be considered an act of war.

    Same thing today—what with Hamas confiscating the humanitarian aid meant for Palestinian civilians!

    Chicken quarter bombs? Innovative, and no one goes hungry.

    We financed the other side during the Vietnam war. It was too expensive to buy and ship American cement and steel for American bases. So we bought it on the black market… And buying the Chinese cement and steel financed the side we were fighting.

    Frequently being cheap is more expensive in the long run.

    We had composite rations, some of them dated 1957 (this was in the early 70´s). I still remember the canned cheese!

    They could deflect the MREs with the iron dome if they didn’t live in the 8th century

    Let us never forget: When the USSR invaded Afghanistan, Reagan ( which is, of course, shorthand for "the evil puppeteers feeding the halfwit with Alzheimer’s his lines) created the Mujaheddin. They both recruited local Afghani Islamicists and imported foreign – mostly Saudi – Islamicists, trained them in terror techniques, and paid them to fight the Soviets.

    When the Soviets finally turned tail and ran (though they figure out it was a mistake much more quickly than we later did), we cut them loose.

    The Afghani Mujaheddin stayed home and became the Taliban, the imports – including one Osama bin Laden – left and became al Qaeda.

    Yes, Reagan created bin Laden & Company, just as W invented ISIS.

    During the Six Day War, the Israelis went so long without sleep, everyone at a field staff meeting passed out from exhaustion. They were awakened when a package from a resupply air drop landed three feet away from the General’s head.

    Even when we’re doing the right thing, we’re still wrong. World is a very messed up place.

    It’s never a good idea to stand under a cargo drop.

    Pancake flour. But they took the syrup out of the containers before they dropped it
