Reply #4: How do they get "blood all over the floor"...

[OldSoldier]

when they buy the meat frozen in cases?

I guess this is better than Halliburton serving the troops no food, like they were doing at the beginning of this contract, but not by very much. I do wonder how much food poisoning we're seeing in theater.

This is the first war that has used privatized mess halls, and obviously it ain't working. The military (except for the Air Force, who has used privatized mess halls for years, but the Air Force is fussy about how well its troops eat and would have terminated the KBR contract three days after it was let if they'd have had the chance) used troops as cooks for centuries, especially in wartime (when even the Air Force uses military mess personnel). And now we know why.
