(Lew writes today. Enjoy his post! ~ Tracy)
In 1969 I spent about seven months in the jungles of Vietnam as a medic attached to an infantry unit of the 1st Infantry Division. For the first few months our diet consisted mostly of C-Rations that were manufactured in the late 1940s.
Yes, we were eating canned food that was over 20 years old.
One day this week I drove by a new restaurant that advertised Vietnamese cuisine. For some reason I thought to myself, “I wonder if they have any C-Rations that were manufactured in the 1940s.”
I made myself laugh.
