25 SHOCKING Meals American Soldiers Actually Ate During the Vietnam War

In 1967, a nineteen-year-old soldier in Vietnam carried three canned meals a day through jungle so thick the sun didn't reach the ground. Ham and lima beans so bad men buried them. Pound cake so good they traded ammunition for it. Tabasco sauce that saved every meal it touched. And care packages from home that carried something no military ration ever could. These 25 meals kept American soldiers alive in a war that took 58,000 of them. If you served, or someone you love served, put your unit in the comments. #vietnam #vietnamwar #vietnamveterans #militaryfood #crations #forgottenfood #americanhistory #veterans #militaryhistory #soldierfood #warfood #combatrations #usarmy #marines #1960s #veteranstories #supportourveterans #mealready #forgottenhistory #americansoldiers
