Has to be bad moonshine, right? Stuff can kill/maim/cripple.

Loco weed? Gila Monsters? Jimson weed?

MRE’s?........................

Probably. Which brought to mind a scene from SG-1:
Jackson: This MRE tastes like tuna
Carter: That's a good thing, right?
Jackson: It's chicken soup.

I wonder if it was an MRE that either was spoiled or poisoned.

Bad tuna salad? Bad acid?

No hints as to nature of “substance”.

Hope they’re all going to recover. Two are critical.

Per the press release from Bliss- some soldiers ingested a substance outside authorized food supply.

Also of interest Bliss is cooperating with local le officials in investigation.

Back on Guadalcanal, the starving Marines ate the dead japs rice and didn't complain...

Times have changed...

Fort Bliss.

I spent a week there one day back in Aug. 1966

?I recall eating them, and finding most were just fine. A couple were good, a few specific items I considered inedible. I just traded. People just liked to complain.

Desiccant packets that might have broken and intermingled with whatever product was being consumed.
