did you ever eat C-rations? I can tell you first had how they rate!

Yes.

Believe it or not, I have a package of pre-Korean War Camel cigarettes
and several packages of green package WWII Lucky Strikes that - get
this - in Vietnam. :)

There is a reason why they call them C RATS.

And it has nothing to do with the C RATS being shorthand for Canned
Rations.

As far as the MRE's go, the Mac and Cheese is really good and believe
it or not, the Vegetarian MRE is excellent.

The Beef Stew ain't too bad either.

MRE's? What are those? C RAT's What are those? Never saw any in the
Fighting Air Force.

Of course not. You always made it home for the dinner bell, didn't you.
