Yes, it is all relative. When I was in Basic Training in late '54 the 
food was in fact so good and plentiful and the work was so easy that 
I gained fifteen pounds in those eight weeks. It was soft living for 
a skinny farm boy.

From me, too. I disagreed, and still disagree, with the Iraq 
Invasion but I wish only the best for our people who serve everywhere.

 Our military should have the best food and the best equipment we 
can provide. And those who have not served should simply follow the 
lead of those who have. If I were king, chickenhawks would be serving 
food to our service people in Iraq.
