Have you ever been in the military? I have. On one deployment we were told that we were authorized an MKT - that's Mobile Kitchen Trailer for you civilians. Well, the MKT never showed up; seems they had been "over-allocated" and there were not enough to go around. So someone up the chain says, hey, no sweat, just send 'em some MRE's.
Well, guess what? We got no MRE's either. Why, you ask? Because our unit was authorized and assigned an MKT, of course! What did we need with MRE's when we had an MKT? You know, the one we never got? Shit, we were making "meals" out of crackers & canned cheese and junk we brought from home.
So DO NOT pat me on the head and tell me, or any other service member, that you know we are getting fed "because those nice people at the DOD told you so". Those bureaucratic crap-heads wouldn't know what's happening in the field if you drew it for them in crayon.
