I do _so_ love the Internet.

ObFood:  I wonder if any of the rations from the conflict in Vietnam
are still edible.  This, of course, assumes they were edible in the
first place.  I wonder about large period armies and what methods they
used to feed such numbers.  I guess one could always forage (pillage)
as you went along.  Seems there would have been a more organized
system, though.
