Our troops in the Pacific ate the rations from WWI, unfortunately, they also had the weapons from WWI too.

Yes, I know. FDR loved kissing a** with Churchill so he sent the bulk of the weaponry to Europe and almost caused us to lose the war in the Pacific. It was touch and go at Guadalcanal. They didn’t even have WWI food to eat there, they had to eat captured Japanese rations because the frickin’ Navy sailed off with the Marines food, ammunition and replacement troops.
