The problem of feeding an armed force engaged in combat, whether in alien or in home areas, has occupied the attention of military leaders since the beginning of organized warfare. Leaders learned that the ability of men to fight was related to the way they were fed and that the answer to the feeding problem often determined victory or defeat. The axiom that an army travels on its stomach is as good today as it has ever been, only now that classical stomach rides in airplanes, ships, tanks, submarines, and jeeps in every terrain and climate of the world. But there is no question that the problems of the army stomach have entered the age of specialization. This fact is increasingly evident as the story of army subsistence unfolds from the early simplicity to the contemporary complexity of the military feeding program.

The earliest rations of the United States Army were all-inclusive in purpose. For more than a century after 1776, the basis of all troop feeding--for soldiers in camp, on the march, in action, or just surviving--was the simple fare of meat and bread, and sometimes vegetables, known as the garrison ration. From the Revolutionary War to World War I, the garrison ration served the unit, the small group, and the individual. Moreover, it was intended to serve them in organized messes, in isolated groups, and in individual situations of combat and survival.

Haven't had a peanut butter call today.

Thank goodness.

I gave the girls some baby carrots Saturday night.

Jackie usually spends 10 minutes shredding hers into tiny pieces. Sol chomps a few times and it is gone.

Jackie was concerned that Solly was gonna steal hers and swallowed it whole and raw.

I was on the phone with the Vets office at MN...Bring it up with peroxide or trust that it would pass.

Vet said take the chance....Still waiting..

Dogs usually wake up happy..At least mine do.
