[@huskiiexe]

Thank you from NZ

[@straighttalkwithkyle7947]

Sorry Guga but that is not how they would have eaten that food in 1776. a small group of soldiers would have had a cook pot, the hard tack would be likely be made and brough in and the meat would be soaked and rinsed a couple of time because it would have been heavily salted. The meat would be cut up with whatever else they had and stew would be made. The hard tack would likely be broken up and put into the stew as the starch filler. It's too hard just to bite into. That would have been a lot of soldiers with broken teeth.

[@beziik2357]

I was pretty disappointed about the video. Too basic. Feels like he searched "X war rations" and went with whatever he found first. P.s. Oh yeah, let's not forget how he said "nice hiss" when opening a bloated can. It's not supposed to be bloated. He risked it big time there, not even joking, botulism can be fatal

[@AdamRaymond-r6y]

3:28 correction, The USA actually fought a couple of times before overseas. There where US troops involved abroad in both the Barbary wars in 1800s and later had limited envolvment in the Boxer rebellion in China in 1900

The war of 1812 vs. Canada and the Brits. Mexico (From the Halls of Montezuma) (as you already mentioned the Libya section of the song), Spain over Cuba, if memory serves. (Next to the Philipines, as mentioned.) And of course numerius Indian Wars. Oh and Panama in the '80s.
