(21,664 posts)This is what I'd feed Dubya, Cheeto, and their accesories in jail.
One, because I'm a nice guy (I try to be).
And two, because it would help them gain a little appreciation for our French friends.
Thanks for posting! Happy Thanksgiving, et Bon Appétit.

Thanks again for sharing these. An embarrassment of riches.

(21,664 posts)On one hand, it's a little depressing because I bet some contractor charged the Pentagon $100 a box. But on the other, it's a surprisingly intact piece of history. Thanks for sharing this!
Above all, than you for your service Adsos Letter.
I can't imagine what it takes to go through that - least of all with a sense of humor as intact as yours is.
My brother-in-law was in Afghanistan 8 years ago. Had a number of close calls, with incoming machine gun fire, grenades, bullets whizzing just overhead.
He wasn't injured, thank God. But as you can imagine, it took him a couple of years to get over the stress and the memories.
Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier (Thanksgiving dinner, you know). Thanks again for finding and sharing those. Very informative.
Happy Holidays to you and yours.

(19,459 posts)I was assigned to one of two armored cavalry regiments that patrolled the old Iron Curtain that separated East Germany and Czechoslovakia, back in 1972-75.
We spent a lot of time in the field, and these are the rations we ate when we were out there.
No need to respond to this, I just wanted to clarify that I was not in Vietnam lest someone reading this think I was trying to pull some kind of stolen valor thing.
But thank you for all of your responses. 🙂 I rarely get responses outside the Photography group.

(21,664 posts)I've never spoked/chatted with anyone who had been on Iron Curtain patrol. Sounds intriguing - although there must have been a fair bit of boredom too, I imagine.
Thanks again, also, for introducing me to Steve1989 and his very informative rations overviews. Each one, a mini documentary in itself.
Happy Holidays, my good sir.
