Biggest problem I found with MREs? They're bland, so after several months of eating them in hot climes? Yeah, I'd be ready to rock and or roll on the Iraqis too. BTW, that constipation comment, it's true. I used to have MREs a lot, and never fail, I was constipated for days after I stopped eating them!

MRE's are bricks waiting to be excreted from the body. They're made to accomodate the calorie burn of soldiers in their late teens and early twenties, not us 40 something old farts. I could usually only eat one a day and made sure to drink ample water to help with the flush.

Back when I was in, MRE's had just replaced C-Rats, so we were the first guinea pigs. Ham and chicken loaf, and chicken ala king were the worst.
