Most of our Troops may be back eating MREs fulltime. |

A little piece in my Sat St. Pete Times talked about companies planning to move out of Iraq until thing get cooler. One company was the famous KBR. KBR thinks charging $28 dollars per person to feed out troops is OK. But if it gets hot, they want to pack up their cooks and take a vacation. Break out the two meal a days MRE...
As much as I hated Army mess hall food in Viet Nam. The cooks showed up every day :) or else :).

If that's a day, then it's quite interesting. Wonder if the troops know how much KBR is getting, when the daily ration allowance is currently $8.10....
So much for privatization saving the government money....
