Meals Rejected by Ethiopians

I have seen some soldiers have expressed their upset about MREs with this nasty explanation of what the acronym means.   (I have had one.  It was not so bad.  Had I spent the day hiking with a 40 pound load, I would have nothing bad to say about it.)

So imagine my pleasure at seeing disagreement.  11/22/24 CNN:
"And in Alaska recently, MREs have found new fans: Hungry bears who broke into a storage room at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson to feast on the military rations.

"On October 28, personnel with the JBER – often pronounced, fittingly, as “J-Bear” – Wildlife Conservation Law Enforcement Office responded to reports of a bear in a storage room on base. Upon arriving at the scene, they found the room had been the site of a bruin snackfest, with a mess of open food packaging scattered about, according to a statement from the base."

I think the Army needs to start a new recruiting drive in Alaska.  If necessary, these Urso-Americans (or are they the ultimate Native Americans?) can live off the land.  Hand-to-paw combat will be awesome, but likely contrary to the Hague Convention on Lsnd Warfare.
