U.S soldiers

Found the reason, U.S. doesnt have good food.

It’s not supposed to be bad. On base, it’s pretty good. Everything is fresh.

Out in the field, there are limitations, and quality kind of takes a dive. MREs are gross because they need long shelf lives and are more about nutrients then being gourmet. The “fresh” food in the field is about ease of transport and cooking. The food comes in giant bags, and the bags are heated up in washing machine sized boiling tanks.

The show was most likely trying to be funny. Bad food lowers moral, so no, it’s not supposed to be bad.
