You've opened old wounds. I haven't seen or thought about a P-38 since I ripped one off my dogtags, when I first was issued an MRE in 1982.

I met the guy who invented the MRE, once. If he hadn't been a full colonel, he would have ended up as a bloody pulp.

lol. I didn't open the wounds, alfa6 did the thread today. Sam still has his P-38 on his key ring.

Agreed on the MREs. There are even vegetarian entrees, ugh. C-Rats were much better and I liked the Lucky Strikes, smoked them for years.

No cigs for over twenty years now, sigh.
