Isn't saltpeter good for something else, too??

"Isn't saltpetre good for something else too?"

Yes, but since Hillary is around now there is no longer a need for it. One picture of her accomplishes the same thing.

I don't think the military ever used saltpetre in food. Lots of rumors about it though. I *did* talk to a drill sergeant who, as a joke, put a big can labeled "Saltpeter" on a shelf just sort of halfway visible from the chow line, so the recruits could see it. He loved to see how rumours spread and stuff like that, a real practical joker type.
