Got me to thinking, why not? Why have the equvalent of multiple
divisions of US troops deployed for such things as feeding the troops?
Instead of subcontracting out such to Wendy's or McDonalds? I mean
perhaps fast food diet isn't the best, but it would sure and beat MREs.

Why not contract with the Iraqis to cater for our forces?

More jobs every week, it seems, since there's an article in the paper today
about the US hiring former Iraqui secret police to help track down terrorists
within the country.

I thought Iraqi Secret police were by default members of the former
Baath party. And Baath party members were strictly being kepy away
from holding any positions in the new administration.

MRE's are awsome (with the exception of chicken ala king). My fav is the Lemon
pound cake loaf in the newer MRE's.

I gather that one of the fun things to do with MRE heaters is to insert them
into 2 liter soda bottles along with some water and cayenne pepper, and roll
them into officers' tents.

Sorry, Wendy's and McDonald's don't have contracts pre-negotiated with the
Army, so have a nice tasty Halliburger, soldier.
Hey, I'm not complaining. I'm a stockholder. Too bad Bechtel's privately
held. (Though why exactly I should be profiting from the war, I don't know.)

I think Burger King has some sort of contract with AAFES (Army Air Force
Exchange service), every base I've been to has a BK somewhere on base/post.

Still? That contract was first awarded circa 1984.

Why is it that so many Grexists are all like SANS PERSONALITY?
I mean, GEEZ. , nearly every M-Netter I know has a different personality
than his/er respective brethren, but here it's all the same, for mostly.

If he does, can I change mine to Bootsy Collins II?
Oh wait, that might not have enough personality for him.
