There are many takeaways here, but I love seeing the vantage points of an old soldier who humped the bush as opposed to the healthier, more nutritious conscious viewpoint of more modern ways. There's something in this forum for everyone. Do you know in Vietnam, those MRE packages still had Lucky Strike Greens in them from World War I?

Sounds like that is what he may have had since MRE's didn't come out until the 80's. Prior to that it was C-rations. LRP's were the best! I remember doing basic train in 77 and getting cigarettes in my C-rat. I didn't smoke, and those who did didn't benefit either because we had our cigarettes collected up by the Drills.
