Good Bye MRE
The United States Military - Anyone having served in America's military can tell you all about the MREs. There's the good , the bad and the ugly side of stories to tell about this sumptuous guormet food. Well , after 30 years of research , the MRE is no more. Nows there's the FSR - First Strike Ration , that is being distributed by the UGRE - Unified Group Ration Express. This is food for the soldier on the go. What's so unique is that it took 3 MREs to give the fighting man his daily bread. Now , it only takes one FSR to give the same amount of the daily dietary fighting requirements for the soldier on the go.
After the initial 30 year testing period , the FSR was finally battle tested in Afganistan on the local Afgans. One Afgan remarked , " This is so cool , just pull a ripcord in the box and 20 minutes later , you have a piping hot meal in the 120 degree desert heat. "
President Bush's father stated , " I like it because it does'nt contain asparagus. "
With no FSR related fatalities being reported in the last quarter , the FSR will be found down range for every soldier in time for Christmas.
