I think you missed the point, noon and dinner are apparently unchanged whether "A" or "B".
Maybe DOD and CinC think that by cutting rations the troops will self deport. After all
"This has absolutely nothing to do with the national budget and everything to do with our responsible reduction of forces."
I didn’t miss anything. If they are having 3 C’s a day, then that is not unusual.
They are getting 2 hots and an MRE. So, that is pretty good. In fact, it’s sounds more like a normal deployment if you ask me.
As I said, whining about MREs is nothing compared to the criminal ROEs that are in place.
