I have several boxes full of MREs...when my hubby was in the reserves, they always handed out a certain number of MREs to all the soldiers, for the weekend, for a few meals...my husband never ate them, and brought them home instead....I just kept collecting them, and now we have three or four large boxes full of them...

And actually some of them are not really that bad at all...we always take a few when we would go camping in the tent, just in case it rained, and we could not cook outside...the little lightweight heater packed inside of the MRE does work quite well, and allows the MREs to be piping hot...

And there is actually quite a bit of stuff inside of those MREs...there is always a main entree, rice or noodles or some sort of side dish, fruit in syrup, crackers, peanut butter, jelly, cheese spread, coffee, tea, fruit drink, hot cocoa, cookies or cake, sometimes candy, along with gum, and always a bottle of tabasco sauce...always the usual toilet paper, matches, salt, pepper, and sugar....

We have friends, who when they go hunting, stop over, and take a few of the MREs, to munch on when they sitting in the bushes, or in a blind, waiting for game...

We will be retiring in a few years, and plan to spend most of our time traveling in an RV...I suppose we will take along some of those MREs for emergency meals...

Does anyone remember the night Sean Hannity had on a warden from from prison, where they began to serve MREs to the prisoners for some of their meals? The prisoners said it was cruel and unusual punishment...but the warden said that using MREs, were more cost effective, than prepared hot meals for the prisoners, and that this prison was saving money by serving MREs...he said if MREs were good enough for the military, they were good enough for the prisoners...

Sean Hannity, then cracked open an MRE, and began to consume it....it was so funny, watching him trying to smile, while commenting that the food was good....you knew dang well, he was lying....

So the food, altho a long way from good home cooked food, or gourmet food, still the food in the MREs is edible, great in a pinch or emergency, and certainly more than enough to keep a soldier alive, should he be trapped somewhere, where he cannot get a regular meal.....

Who gives a sheite about the prisoners?

According to the Boston Globe (and other icons of the left), if you read closely, they are all innocent!

I am sorry but I simply have no sympathy for these hoodlums.
