45. In 1967, after doing my first airborne jump

Thu Mar 12, 2026, 04:57 PM

Thursday

they served us steak and lobster.

When I returned from Vietnam in 1970 they served us a ribeye steak dinner prior to discharge.

Of all the things to complain about nowadays the food that is served to our troops should be pretty low on the list.

For every great meal served to someone in the military it is likely they will get 300 meals that are not so great.
