[quote name="Zseni"][quote name="E. L. Koba"]Whenever we go out on a mission, patrol, or convoy, priority #1 for food is jerky. It's portable, light, easy to eat in any situation and gives you plenty of energy. And delicious. They give out those little packs of jerky for free at the mess hall so we usually have an ammo can in each humvee with bags of jerky. But the good stuff everyone gets sent from home or <i>buys off the internet</i>. That's right. Jerky is the first choice of food for combat. I don't think you could find a more macho food.[/quote] Sure, Koba. Now how about if they pooled resources to buy jerky in groups? Not with each other, but with people from a message board? For frugality's sake. Still butch? Nobody I talked to said that jerky was unmacho. I'm more than willing to concede to the machismo of jerky if it makes everyone happy. But you will never, ever, ever get me to believe that purchasing jerky in groups with people from a message board to "save money" is anything but long-distance foreplay for latent homosexuals. If you come back and tell me the whole United States Army buys jerky in ambient clouds of internet purchasers, I will come back and tell you that Sparta lives again in your hearts and cocks. (PS: the Sparta crack was to remind you that combat, like drag shows, can be both all-man and all-gay.)[/quote]
