This thread is giving me deja vu! 
Actually, I think deja vu is spelt diarrhoea. 
One of those things that’s bound to happen with the constant influx of new members
Yes, but I think this new member already started a thread that was very similar…
Not that it’s a big deal, but…
Hmmm…I know Rising Sun started a thread 22 March 2008 on the topic of “Worst Rations?”

I don’t see why my ‘Worst Rations’ thread should be drawn into this. Everybody knows that the Yanks had the best rations, which is confirmed by numerous dogfaces’ recollections of the sumptuous tucker they got all during the war.
Just a little compare and contrast…poor vs better (or not as bad, depending on your opinion) 
Usual rule was that the further back they were, and the less they were contributing to directly killing the enemy, the better they were fed.
Not least because many of the REMFs in the Pacific, sleeping on stretchers in tents and struggling every day with just two or three hot meals and a little ice cream and a canvas bag shower, were pilfering the food and other goodies meant for the frontline fighters living at best in weapon pit squalor and eating whatever they carried with them. Stll, in the right season the real fighting soldiers got a shower every day, around four in the afternoon whether they wanted it or not and without having to take their clothes off.
On the other hand, air crew in England got bacon and eggs for breakfast, and were dead over Germany by lunchtime.
Like everything else in war, there was no sense to any of it.
