    But combat is one of the most calorie-intensive activity you can do. Hungry soldiers aren't good soldiers. Whenever they could they tried to get soldiers meals from field kitchens, even those on the front lines and in active combat. It kept morale and energy up.

    this is one of those things that's hard to communicate to people... hot A's - a single warm meal per day even - is an incredibly better experience than shipped food or MREs. especially when it's shitty cold or raining and you're outside 24/7

    logistically hard but worth the investment
