Holiday meals
When we had Thanksgiving chow in Iraq, I appreciated it. There was prime rib and turkey and ham and stuffing and things of that nature. They even set out sparkling grape juice and cider for us. It was about as awesome as Thanksgiving in Iraq can be.
When Christmas rolled around, I was glad that they got a bunch of turkey and prime rib and ham and stuffing again. Again, the sparkling cider and grape juice was placed strategically throughout the chow hall. And while I would have rather been with my family on Christmas, it was a nice gesture.
I started to get suspicious when the same meal appeared for MLK's birthday with the sparkling juice.
President's day was the same thing.
And so today, Easter, I had prime rib and turkey with stuffing and gravy. With sparkling grape juice. I turned down the ham this time.

I've talked to people who were vegans while they were deployed because they simply didn't trust that the food was fresh.
