[@michaelvondrake7489]

When I was in Somalia we were given 5 of these every couple of days to hand out to locals we became familiar with. The locals would split each one up as 2-3 meals. We would also sometimes give them our own MRE's. Us as soldiers would be patrolling with a weeks worth of MRE's in our pack or vehicles while food was waiting for us in the Mess tent on base.

[@MoreBuffMoreMuff]

"Smells like one of those apple and cinnamon candles you wish were edible." Steve, those words let me know I am not alone.

[@onefastsled]

The reason the ration lacks drink is due to us sending water separately, when we did send cases of HDRs it was almost always in tandem with bottled water, as such, HDRs were made for a full belly, not hydration

[@cyclemanncafe]

Back in the day, troops would give MREs to people in disaster circumstances and if the people had food restrictions for religious beliefs, they often would not eat them if the MRE appeared to have meat. These vegetarian menus eliminated that hesitation. My brother in law worked at that facility.

[@mwbgaming28]

Even in emergency situations, people are still fussy and entitled Oh well, more food for me

dirtbags would rather starve to death than eat meat. what a joke.

I just ate one of these like 5 minutes ago. Never had lentils before

[@rockyraab8290]

The only thing you could have stressed a bit more was that these are intended to be an entire day's food for one person. They are compiled from ingredients that violate no known religious proscription - even the hand wipe is non-alcohol.

[@effendyhamzah7582]

all these non-alcohol issue had been misinterpreted and misguided by most Muslim, they tend to generalize alcohol that sanitize and alcohol in foods are the same. I would go on but this is youtube :-)

[@dontdieaki]

Going on a picnic with Steve and he pulls out some old MRE packs, I wouldn't even be mad.

[@AnalogWolf]

I have to say those first photos made me tear up. That is the kind of soft diplomacy and outright human decency the US should be known for. Thanks for including them and for your review as always.

[@scar3xcr0]

These rations could be greatly improved by adding of tea. 🍵 I dont think the importance of tea in many cultures where HDRs were distributed can be understated. Tea is a symbol of comfort and friendship. Tea is shared between family, friends, and offered to strangers as a symbol of hospitality. Tea costs next to nothing. I can buy 20 individually wrapped tea bags at the dollar store in one of the most expensive places to live in the USA in bulk they could easily procure 3 tea bags for ¢5 for each HDR. Besides the cultural importance caffeine helps clear the mind and tea can cover unpleasant tastes in water like purification tablets or dirt.

[@CoffeeGoblyn]

I'm surprised they didn't include water purification tablets

[@ecwfaithful]

That was one thing that I thought was missing. Then again, with these being in production still, they could always add them with an instruction book

[@Adierit]

Usually they have water rations as well in humanitarian efforts, probably rendering tablets a tad redundant at that point.

[@onefastsled]

HDRs are normally sent with bottled water, thats also way it lacks drinks

[@BedsitBob]

There's a danger that someone who can't read, might swallow them.

[@dag_of_the_west5416]

Was that an after dinner mint or a water purification tablet I just ate?
