M.R.E.'s

That's a Military short for Meals Ready to Eat I learned this weekend. They are packaged in brown paper and made to be carried with you when you're at war. There were three different kinds. Black Bean and Rice Burrito, Thai Chicken, and Country Chicken. Why do I care? I just find something strange about it. Does this mean that while we were assassinating President Allende our troops were enjoying Burrito's during their breaks? I mean Thai chicken? Are we appreciating other countries contributions to the world while we kill them? It doesn't ring true. We don't just use countries for what we need while we erradicate them or should I say liberate them, do we?
