I agree. I served in both the Navy and the Army. The food was great, better than many people ever get. The cooks I knew really wanted the food they prepared to be appreciated, and it was.These guys were professionals.
All the jokes about crappy military food are just that. Jokes.
Having seen one of the kitchens of the USS
Abraham Lincoln many years ago in person, I can attest that the cleaniness of the kitchen is good enough to pass a "white glove" test. Whoever said we should do away with the
Beetle Bailey jokes is abosolutely 100% correct.
This is all the more amazing considering the often cramped and dirty conditions field kitchens work in.
