What if the oxygen you're breathing came out of someone's backside in a stinky cheesy fart?
Imagine holding a fart from 1945 in
Wow that's scary
As a history teacher, I love your videos showing what soldiers ate. I'm going to show it to my whole class when I cover WWII. thanks.

@@luke_skywanker7643 are you a brit? Lol
@@jr2904 No, US army -- infantry on that enlistment. But I grew up eating C-rats, too. My father was a WW II vet that stayed in until he hit max retirement age. He'd bring a case of them home every now and then. Back then, they had little packs of cigarettes in the "Accessory Pack" -- 4 cigs., matches, a wad of toilet paper, plastic knife, fork and spoon and a pack of chicklets chewing gum. Oh, and a pack of salt and pepper. The P-38 can openers were supplied as 4 to a 12-meal C-Rat. case.

I've been a fan of this channel for years now and the best thing about it is the nature of the content. Steve doesn't give a shit about appealing to RUclips audiences. He assumes you're here to watch someone review military rations, and you're rewarded with the bonus of his personality
Watching this dude nerd out over a WWII Army ration brings me such joy.
Same here dude!
I wish I got that happy over anything
Didn't need to see this, I've eaten them before..I would have to really be hungry. Ok I musta been eating Korean war vintage K and C rations. Didn't have to attack it with a spoon to open it. Still have a couple of p-38s. Those are really cool.

I laughed at that part too.
Steve, you made it man! The NY Times has an article about the surging interest in MRE's and they have this video linked in the article! You a boss!!!
I wouldn't buy that rag as toilet paper,but im happy for steve nonetheless
How did you learn about the article?
Thanks for the heads up on this - it was an interesting read. The article is titled, “Unloved by Generations of Soldiers, the M.R.E. Finds a Fan Base” and was published June 8, 2021.
In the late 1970s I was a boy scout. I used to search through the army Navy stores looking for old ration packs, I remember eating one of these very same ones. The ham and eggs were green and tasted like metal, everything else was okay. No worse than the backpacking dehydrated food we carried with us on our long hikes.
Green eggs and ham, eh?

He brings a unique piece of history to the front. There are less than 500, 000 WW 2 vets left, and almost 100,000 are leaving us a year now. Showing us a small part of their lives and something most people do every day. Wonderful Channel Steve.
I wonder how many watch these? Any idea/

So true man.
My father, who was almost 44 when I was born, fought in WWII. I lost him 2 months before my 14th birthday. I kind of teared up thinking of that young Black man, in my picture of his Army days, actually opening and eating one of those. Now I know why he hated food waste.

lisa knox Thank him for his service!
I’m ex-military from 81-92 and a combat veteran. Had C-Rat’s in basic training, and then the original MRE’s after. Loved the C-Rat’s and also a lot of things about the original MRE’s. This video reminded me of the oatmeal cereal bars we had in the original MRE’s. Looked the same size as this one. I had completed forgotten about it over the years until this reminded me. It was kinda dry but not bad. I still would have tried the bar and crackers as good as they looked. The smell was probably more on the outside of the wrapper from everything else.
After 20 years in the army, words can't describe how much I would have loved getting a couple chesterfields in an mre. Not every day, but on those cold miserable nights, would have made all the difference in the world.

When I was in the army in 83 once they handed out what I believe we're k rations for us to eat. Best I can recall there were dates like in the 30's and 40's. We only consumed the main courses that were in cans still in perfect condition. So at the time these cans were like 40 - 50 years old. Each can actually had a date stamped on it! No one got sick from them and they didn't taste too bad considering how old they were. Back then quality control actually meant something. Today it actually means engineered to fail 2 months after the warranty expires. lol
Anthony Goodley Thank you for sharing your experience :)
Anthony Goodley Back in the mid-80s my Dad went to the post exchange and bought old Korean War rations for us to take on camping trips.
Bak in 83 did they use lol or what? I was off doing prostitutes back then so i wouldn't know
nah just constant, there was nothing inbetween. and plus i dont good english because bak in veitnam they locals spoke a difrent langwage which made me all confused...
When I was in Army (80-83) we were eating Vietnam leftover C-Rations. They had held up very well over the years and they never made anyone sick. Loved those chocolate disks. Right now in my closet I have 2 boxes of MRE meals I've been saving for a few years now- my emergency food. I'd rather have C-Rations
the absolute excitement in your voice. I really enjoyed this video.

That box is useful. My father said he used to set that up and set it on fire to heat up the meat. The only problem was sometimes just as things warmed up they'd get the order to move out and he'd have to handle the can while it was hot. He used to be part of a crew for a M18 TD.

My dad was in WW2 and the army rations were the bane of most of the GI's existence. They were eaten of course, but finding food in any capacity other than the army rations was a priority. I really enjoy your videos because it has given me a better understanding of the experience and reminds me of the wealth of war stories my dad used to share with me- thanks
Dennis Wilhoite The front line troops believed that the best rations were siphoned off at the shipyards and warehouses, taken by rear echelon troops long before the rations reached them. They were probably right.
Dennis Wilhoite o
jebem vam mater americku
Dennis Wilhoite yeah and when they were talking about how World War II was much better than the beans and rice of world war one that they were putting science into the food and having these people review it you know these scientist that are exerting next to no energy "oh boy that's one good biscuit"
but there was a lot of effort behind that war pretty much the entirety of the American might was put into that war and that is why I as I guess what would be a millennial at age 28 can call those of World War II the greatest generation is because they were be a higher level of patriotism back then you know people that actually give a crap about their country and as you can see by the channel photo my favorite plane is the F4U Corsair known to the Japanese as whistling death into the Allies it's a sweetheart of Okinawa superior to the P51 until it got its Rolls-Royce engine upgrade even though the course there was more difficult to land it was able to feel quite a lot of rolls with its free flight Rockets and large capacity to carry other bombs and things like that and it even had its own droppable fuel tank though it's 2000 horsepower Whitt end pratney spinning that huge prop it probably wasn't very fuel efficient but the Airman in the Korean War preferred it over the first jets that were available as the first Jets only did 30 miles an hour faster but had poor maneuverability in comparison I would love to own an F4U Corsair even if a replicated one out of carbon fiber or whatever material would be easier and better Suited to make the plane even better and more manageable well still resembling the Beautiful fighter that it was
