Buddy, I’m just going by what actual soldiers tell me.
And I didn’t contradict that.
Just pointed out that, and this is coming from the same source, it’s not the only thing that keeps morale up and that folks who have deployed before know that food service in a war zone can be spotty even with modern logistics.
EDIT: People are focused on food in this thread, but there’s a reason why mail service is mentioned in the headline with it.
Sorry if it offends, but communication with home (mail, internet, etc.) plays a big role in morale as well. A lot of soldiers like getting mail and hearing from their families, girlfriends, etc. It relieves a lot of anxiety to know that your loved ones are doing well. Don’t know what else to say.
