    I live in Germany and when i was young, in the early 90s, we had US soldiers regularly practicing with their tanks nearby. We knew, that they would ilke german beer, so we took the bottles there and gave them to the soldiers. In return, we got these MREs and we were so happy! All these flavors, the chewing gum, etc. It is a nice memory of my childhood. This MRE reminds me of the ones we got back in the times.

    Been watching Steve for sometime now. I enjoy his and Gustos videos immensely. Back in the 70's, my Uncle and I would purchase C rations from an Army Surplus store. I guess they were extras from the Vietnam Nam War which had just ended. Spaghetti with meat sauce and Frank's and Beans were our favorites. On our hunting trips, we would mix these two rations together for supper. We would also have B1 and B2 cans. My Uncle took the unit with the cheese, crackers, and chocolate disc. I got the ones with the crackers, peanut butter, and coconut chocolate disc. The can with the pound cake or pecan roll was mine. Good breakfast with hot coffee. When I see Steve doing reviews of Vietnam Nam era rations, it brings back good memories. Back in the 70's these rations were pretty good. Today, well it's a shame. No P38 for us. I used the can opener on my Boy Scout pocket knife. Hey Steve...NICE!🇺🇸

    I went through a lot of cold weather training in the military and never saw one of these. Some genius thought it would be good for morale to serve hot A rations (regular food) when the temp was 65 below zero. Baked chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy. The gravy froze by the time it hit the taters and you couldn't eat the chicken with your mittens on. Then the chicken froze. We were pissed just a tad.
