I just want to say that this post is awesome. Also Military MREs, come in a convenient form factor and had the effect of keeping me well fed and also completely blocked up during whole field exercises.
Yeah, I swear they put something in them to back your system up tight. Except for the little gum packs. We were pretty sure those had a laxative to let it all out. Also, fuck jambalaya.
Here I'd say fuck the Poutine one.
I swear to god it's intentional - defending your position is harder to do when squatting over a latrine. Morale (specifically defined as willingness to fight) is also high when you're pissed off that you can't poop. "Something's getting unloaded, one way or another".
The chili con carne they give Canadian troops is my jam, though. Kinda want a bunch of those for camping now that I'm thinking about it.
It did make up for the godforsaken poutine MRE.
Never had that one, just looked it up. That's a poutine crime if I've ever seen one.
