Topic: So, What's an MRE?

DURING OPERATION DESERT STORM, my family and I wrote to several service members stationed in the Gulf. My younger brother asked one officer what "MRE" stands for. The captain wrote back, "MRE stands for 'Meals Ready to Eat' -- three lies in one!"

A mate of mine who served in the Australian army alongside Delta in Somalia refers to them as "Meals Rejected By Ethiopians".

Was that a joke? Or your gross cluelessness as to "Delta" being Delta Force?

Don't be silly. Of course I know what Delta Force is. It's one of the better movies Chuck Norris put out!
