OIF/OEF Veterans how do you cope?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfxabSYFs88
MREs from our era are way out of date and flavorless if not dangerous.
Iraqi food is unattainable in the majority of the US.
How do you cope with these missing meals? Some MREs are still available but most of my favorites are long gone. I even miss the Veggie Omelet. I miss Iraqi food but nowhere to get it. It's all a craving I cannot quench. Even Rip Its are unattainable.

>eating Iraqi food
Nope.

I was there to kill them...KILL them, not murder them. I wasn't there to pump up their economy.

MRE's, and field rats, are, and have always been, garbage, so I don't know what the fuck you're on about "missing" them.

Fuck Muslims, fuck the war, fuck the politicians that sent us there, and FUCK YOU.

I am a grown ass adult who isn't functionally retarded so if I desire food from a different culture I just buy the ingredients and make it myself.
>>19723223
You were there to do both, but E-Anythings don't really comprehend that part 99% of the time.

I was there on both the E and O side, and I thought it was an exercise in futility at best, as did my seniors as a butter bar, as did my staff later on. No amount of propping up an economy can make Iraqis human after centuries of shenanigans. They still, to this day, barely wipe their asses.

But we're lying if we pretend most of the lower enlisted had any fucking clue (mostly because they didn't care) what the larger mission even was. The "I wasn't there to pump up their economy" comment is a sign of that mentality.

Anon there are hundreds of thousands of people in the US alone who have been in firefights in the last 20 years, not exactly a rarity.

Did you guys have the orange cream ones ever, or just the red/greens? Toward the end of the GWOT they started giving us more flavors, only took them decades, lmao.

You know what caused that hole.

God bless LT's....they're like puppies that need encouragement and discipline alike, and if raised right, grow up to be good dogs.

Oh yea, that was straight gourmet cooking. I only had that, at best once a month going back to the COB. Our JSS had nigger army cooks. You can imagine how that went.

>if we pretend most of the lower enlisted had any fucking clue (mostly because they didn't care) what the larger mission even was. The "I wasn't there to pump up their economy" comment is a sign of that mentality.
Every officer I knew believed wholeheartedly in the OIF mission. Every enlisted knew better. NCOs just maintained order.

Retarded? No. Exploited? Yes.

Somebody has to be trained and prepared to face legitimate threats. It's not their fault that the politicians exploit that fact, it's the citizens that don't care what their politicians are doing.

We had the CITRUS X variety, which was this undefined flavor that will probably give me stomach cancer in the future. Can't wait for the commercials to be compensated for it.

"Did you or a loved one ever consume Rip Its on deployment between 2003-2016? You might be entitled to compensation."
