I don’t know where the gluten-free MREs issue arose. But, I will speak to the matter:
It may sound impossible for the military to meet everybody’s individual dietary restrictions with tasty and sufficient meals, also to meet their prescription drug needs in the field, as well as be handicap accessible and provide translators to “Americans” who are not proficient in English.
But, it might be possible to accommodate some situations. Let’s say X particular soldiers have moderate peanut allergies. Then labeling choices at the cafeteria should be sufficient, along with mixing in some peanut-free MREs into the boxes of them relying on the good sense of our soldiers to distribute them accordingly. At a more radical level, providing individualized rations, to include prescription medication, might be feasible through “mass customization” technology. As to whether these would be good ideas, it depends on the supply of qualified personnel relative to the needs of the military.
A lot of soldiers fake it when it comes to food allergies, lying to get in or stay in, and then using their common sense at the cafeteria and trading combat meals with buddies.
That’s the spirit - if we can’t elevate Cruz to the WH, pave the road for Hillary or Bernie to follow Obama - would make Scalia’s seat irrelevant even if the Repubs actually manage to do one right thing and keep Obama from seating another Lefty.
I absolutely LOVE that Graphic. Which I had a bumper sticker like that....
