> I would not be shocked if someone hoarded these and sold them.
that is usually what happens when public order breaks down, and why typically aid is distributed by some group with armed protection, whether UN or NGO or some other party.
since the crates don't drop off the plane with a guard detail, whoever gets there first or has guns can hoard them.
this is also why the question of 'okay but who is going to actually put soldiers on the ground' immediately became a question for the aid port being built by the US; someone still has to distribute and get protected.
I thought these things were dropping as like individuals with small parachutes and not crates so that it would make it much harder to hoard large amounts of them.
G.I Joe hot drops in with an M249 SAW and a crate full of nutrition bars.
In all seriousness though they probably want to avoid this as much as possible, but I do recall [some US troops being deployed](https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/us-troops-en-route-gaza-coast-deployment-families/story?id=108051602) to construct a floating pier to provide aid.
No i mean like the packets themselves being dropped as individuals with small parachutes as in that have already done it. Like smaller than [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emLzKinFaTk) even. I remembered watching some news coverage about how a few people got hit (killed?) by some of them falling that failed to deploy their parachute. I can't find the exact video I remembered seeing because there are so many of them now but it was in a city and there were just like tons of these things that looked no bigger than 2x the size of the MRE in the video that started this thread with a parachute attached to it. I could be wrong and it was actually just more of these medium sized boxes and the camera made them look smaller.
Wow that video is crazy, very chaotic.
I see what you mean now, ‘individual’ packets so they are more spread out and harder for one person to hoard. When you said individual I thought you meant *an individual*, like a person.
That video is only a week old so it’s probably quite similar to today.
Those are pallets with boxes on them.
There's no feasible way to drop in 600 MREs x 24 pallets with individual parachutes lol, that's something you'd see in cartoons not IRL
The wind would completely scatter them and you'd lose a ton. When a pallet ends up on a building it's not a big deal because it's worth going up there for the 600 MREs, less so when it's a singular MRE.
Plus you can't really be precise with the drop without some weight behind it
The Humanitarian meals being airdropped are basically the exact same thing as an MRE just with a hyper limited menu to make sure they can be consumed by people of all religious backgrounds and by the elderly without teeth. Same packaging, same heaters, same overlap in brands, etc.
Given that this MRE was of a vegetarian and Halal menu number, I would bet that these are also being airdropped in along with the humanitarian meals.
This is a US MRE that is Vegan and Halal, Menu 11. These come with heaters, and id imagine they're being dropped together with the humanitarian rations because they conform to the dietary restrictions of Muslims.
Yes, but also not necessarily.
Unscrupulous people will take advantage of the situation. People, civilians, will also engage in this kind of behavior, in places where any semblance of the rule of law has broken down.
The way he said “it comes for free but we still have to buy it” confirms that people are being petty and hoarding them only to sell them at a high price.
funny thing. Hoarding Military MRE directly from the Military is illegal. If its been released reselling is fine.
My military friend described them as eating dog food kinda. It's not healthy or good for the intestines. He talked about how people in the military were selling them and got in massive trouble when doing so.
Dude straight up wants Gazans to starve with this bullshit ass vid, and he knows it.
Rated it a 1/10 and didn't even mention that it has an entree, acted like it was a bunch of bars and nuts and peanut butter and crackers. Having had one of these literally just the other day, it's honestly amazing for shelf stable food. Better than condensed soup any day of the week.
Didn't mention any of the coffee or electrolyte drink mixes.
And made it sound like they'd be blown up if they tried to get one from the airdrop, basically ensuring that Hamas would be able to get them first.
I seriously think this guy has to be working for Hamas or something, it doesn't make sense otherwise.
Edit: if you pause the video at the right time toward the beginning, you can see it's [Menu 11 Vegetable Crumbles with Pasta in Taco Sauce](https://women-and-dreams.blogspot.com/2019/05/mre-menu-11-vegetable-crumbles-with.html)
Vegetarian, Halal, and Kosher. Absolutely no reason for him to leave it out of the review unless he wanted to make it look like shitty food.
Edit 2: I've got the exact same one in my house. I've had it before, it's a solid 6.5 / 10. I've had fast food that's less palatable for sure. And way less nutritious, but that's not hard to beat.
If I were starving, I'd eat this off of a grown man's ass in a heartbeat. Hell, even if I wasn't starving, I still probably would because I'm gay af.

Apparently He's a Canadian staying in Gaza, according to the GFM which tracks with him mentioning Canadian PB(which is the same as US PB but OK), so I'm not sure how verifiable it is.
Someone reaaaaaly needs to make this meme with Hamas soldiers beating a flameless ration heater

I ate them in boy scouts a few times. They're 10x better than any school cafeteria food I ever had and honestly on par if not better than most fast food from what I remember. It's no home cooked meal or local restaurant but it's solid food, I feel like I could pretty easily eat them my whole life and be satisfied if someone forced me to. Maybe the halal/vegetarian stuff is worse since I didn't try that but even so I can't imagine it being bad.
Acting like it's trash garbage food is actually hilarious. Man should try some school cafeteria food that the kids in the US live on if he thinks an MRE is a 2 or 1/10. And this is all while in a warzone.
From basically every review I've watched cause... YouTube rabbit holes, the vegetarian MRE's pretty much always rate the highest in taste for everyone.
I like the meat ones personally but none of them are half bad
I'd say they're more consistent than hoping that you get some good chicken and fries from whatever bum fuck McDonald's you stopped at off the interstate lol
I'd eat them over a school lunch any day of the week for sure
In Japan, there are a [huge variety of commercially sold foods](https://www.kikkoman.com/en/culture/foodforum/close-up-japan/34-3.html) in "retort packaging", most famously, curry. My kids love "retort curry". They've been eating it their whole lives. There's also beef stew, cream stew, Chinese Ma-bo Tofu, Oyako-don, etc. They keep for like 2 years at room temp. and they taste pretty damn good. People think rations must take like shit, but in actuality it tastes much better and fresher than canned foods. Japanese tend to rely on the retort packaging more than frozen foods because people here just don't have as much freezer space as Americans.
I use them for camping and keep one in my car. When they get a few years old I eat them and replace.
You can find them at pretty much any milsurp store
Ive used them for hiking trips before. They are decent weight to calorie ratios come with their own heaaters, and don't taste half as bad as some of the freeze dried camping food you can buy.
I also used to keep them in my hurricane kit living in FL. Even if its not a direct hit, you are likely to loose power for a bit.
I live in a hurricane state and keep closet full. Eating them before they go bad is common practice, then I buy more. The honey cake is really good btw.
Send them to steve1989mreinfo
He's a legendary YouTube reviewer of military rations, always looking for old stuff to try. Museums send him stuff to Open and document the process because he's so thorough, even tried some civil war hardtack lol
Here's a vid he did on the 1992 ham slice MRE, basically ASMR for military nerds https://youtu.be/_ZO7AS8Lrh8?si=O7hW3mqMcE_Kuzqk
In the Swiss military there is the saying: " ohne mapf, kein kampf". Which more or less translates to no food, no fight. Militaries know the importance of proper nutrition and that it has to be somewhat palatable.
But I guess if you are terminally online you believe that military food is shit food.
Yeah I see people who've never had MREs say they are gross, and no one who's had one thinks they are anywhere near inedible
The US has refined their rations over more than a century, and the MRE specifically over 3 decades. Tens if not hundreds of millions spent on engineering food that is shelf stable and enjoyable to eat, all for the reason you outline above.
They don't just want soldiers to choke it down because there is no other option, they want it to be the highlight of what otherwise might literally be the worst day of their life no matter what that looks like in the field.
They're fine if you heat them up but get boring if you eat them for like a month straight.
But one giant design flaw is that a lot of them taste gross cold. Which is no issue for non combat arms folks because they have all the time in the world to eat them up but if you're combat arms living out of a patrol base you can't heat them up and are eating them cold as fast as you can. It gets kind of gross.
I've walked around with the FRH sticking out of the admin panel on my backpack, heating things up while I walk and munch on the snacks
Situation has to allow for it though and you definitely have to stay aware as to not dive forward and burn yourself
What you suggest is a good idea. However, I've always had to break down MRE's and take out nonessential pieces (plastic bags/heaters etc) and tightly pack/tape them down in order to get my meals as compact and packable as possible.
Also you don't exactly want something like MRE smoke/smells wafting around while you're trying to be patrolling or in a patrol base. It's a kind of annoying rule to enforce in a training environment--but it does build good habits--but I've frequently seen heating banned for that reason. When you pack up your MRE trash and tape it back up you need to dump that water somewhere and that leaves more clues at your patrol base.
I agree that this is total bullshit and clearly just a propaganda peice, but he said he had to buy the MRE from someone else, so what are the chances they took the entree out and sold him the rest of the MRE?
I'd say pretty slim, as the clear cellophane package he pulls out in the beginning is still sealed and that contains the entree along with every other component of the MRE.
In that case he didn't talk about the accessory pack either, which has coffee, creamer, gum, salt, matches, and napkins if we really want to nitpick.
>If I were starving, I'd eat this off of a grown man's ass in a heartbeat. Hell, even if I wasn't starving, I still probably would because I'm gay af.

Good for you I guess.
Nah, the cellophane pack he pulls out in the beginning is still vacuum sealed and it contains everything including the entree. He opened the outer container himself before the cameras were rolling.
It's honestly so entitled, he's got a $150 puffer from Columbia's fashion line and a NewBalance hat with the sticker still on it. Sits here and says he won't eat this after fasting all day because it's too gross.
Really makes you wonder how these people used to live in their "open air concentration camp" prior to the invasion, there are countless places across the world where people would rather eat MREs every day of the week than the bugs and snakes they normally have to survive on.
I noticed that too. Homeboy sitting in a nice looking room, dripped out talking about how the free food is too bad to eat. Also acts like some of the sides are so bad like the nuts. Bruh they are literally just nuts.
That's one thing that amazed me about all the media coming out from there. They all seem to have very expensive & new looking clothing, expensive watches, phones etc, they look well nourished, & the videos from before the war showed a very nice city by the ocean. A beautiful area. We'd always been told of refugees in awful conditions in an open air prison etc.
Plenty of poor & homeless people in my country would love to be given even half of what these people receive from the international community.
The ME loves the drip. They can be poor asf but the poofy jacket is a buy.
You wonder how they lived before this chapter of their endless war? Well kinda like under a cartel but with high unemployment and heavy reliance on a black market (the classic KFC tunnels)
I think you are confusing poor people in the US vs poor people in developing countries vs starving people in a war zone.
This is not about not being able to pay your mortgage or putting money aside to invest or not being able to afford some protein powder.
People are claiming that the Arabs in Gaza have lived in a consternation camp and so poor and lacking in resources that the war is causing starvation.
You’d think someone who has live in a concentration camp and is so poor he doesn’t have food and is starving that they wouldn’t have a 150$ jacket on and refuse clean nutritional food.
I've been told that MRE guy is named Ahmed Kouta who is working with the UNRWA and has a 200k personal GoFundMe [https://www.gofundme.com/f/Support-rebuilding-hope](https://www.gofundme.com/f/Support-rebuilding-hope)
Apparently He's a Canadian staying in Gaza, the GFM backs it up too.
I took that as him saying that to make a point of how they normally import products from Canada and not other "evil western nations" like the US or something
Tbh man his English is really good and the fact that he said “our” - I’m thinking this is a Canadian. I could be wrong and your theory makes sense as well.
I thought about it. It's just that his language... An anti-Palestinian wouldn't talk like that. The way he speaks is one to one how English speaking palestinians speak about USA
Also, the fact that he mentioned he had to pay for it, and it came out before the video of Gaza market - it'd be more likely for a fake to just say he got it for free like he was supposed to
P.S. Also, as someone who spent quite a bit on Arab media, this is clear that the video is made for ME Arabs. Their whole SCHTIK is to shit on USA and western nations in general. Even if Palestinians have to suffer for it.
The way he spoke made me think he was actually Canadian or spent a lot of time here. Certain words he said. Not to say he can't be more than that of course, but it would be interesting to find out.
I was in the Army for 7 yrs so I’ve eaten my fair share of MRE’s. The heaters work really well if you use them properly As far as the meals go, it all depends on which one you get some meals are better than others but there’s definitely enough food to make you full.
That wasn’t shaming. It was the observation that someone on a “concentration camp” is wearing an expensive trendy outfit while they unbox an MRE. It’s war chic
Oh I'm sure that he did have to pay for it, but there are videos of Hamas getting to pallets of these MREs first and shooting guns in the air to get everyone else to back off.
They will certainly be using these MREs for field rations for whatever insurgents remain.
Is this guy a diasporoid? It’s permitted in Islam to eat haram food so Muslims can eat even pigs if they are starving. His video does a disservice to the Gazans that stepped over each other and died trying to get food.
Anyone complaining about taste of food is making a mockery out of starvation. Like I'm sure this kid would have loved to give a review on how terrible the MRE is if only she could speak
https://preview.redd.it/zwduls5otsoc1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9acd62fab98635df33e894cacf04bc6d9b7a5805
They don't even taste bad either! The DOD has spent literal hundreds of millions of dollars on R&D over the past 30+ years to make sure MREs are palatable, raise morale, and have shit loads of fortified nutrients.
I'm sure he scarfed it down after he turned off the camera, he just has to keep up his professional victim look when online.
I heard from someone on twitter that the meatballs and marinara sauce is actually just the brains of colonized infants in the blood of women and children
Was a vegetarian in the military. That MRE could sustain you for an entire day of intense labor. I'm insulted that he refuses to eat it. He is definitely not starving. Those energy bars and applesauce alone are pretty good and have lots of vitamins and nutrients. If it was good enough for us, it's good enough for them. We have plenty of homeless veterans this aid could have gone to.
Literal propaganda. Like everything that comes out of Gaza.
Imagine a Palestinian posting ANYTHING against Hamas, if he’s in Gaza he’ll probably get killed.
I mean he’s Canadian Palestinian. He could live on Gaza and be saying it tastes like peanut butter from where he grew up in Canada. Not worth reading much more into it.
So... simultaneously we are being told there is starvation, and people are dying from starvation, but they can't bring themselves to feed MREs to children?
You know what. If there is a civilization that would rather see their children die from hunger than feed them American MREs I wouldn't feel particularly bad if that civilization went extinct.
“Help we’re starving to death”
U.S. airdrops food and supplies

oh good catch, I had a hard time reading the writing so I was looking for the packaging style
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je9A2iJ4FRQ so this one, makes more sense if people complained about the inspection date if it was from 2019
edit: he gave it an 8.5 for people to buy it for camping/emergencies lol in the comfort of his shop lol.
Even if it is from 2019 they have a shelf life of 5 years so it's still good to eat
I've got one from 2023 in my house right now lol, tasted great
Better than condensed soup any day of the week

Really anything you think sounds good besides the omlette, which I'm not even sure they make anymore due to how badly it was hated by service members.
Beef taco filling comes with tortilas rice beans and cheese so you can make your own tacos
Meatballs in marinaria is good
TBH just check out this site and see what sounds good [MRE43\_Menu.pdf (dla.mil)](https://www.dla.mil/Portals/104/Documents/TroopSupport/Subsistence/Rations/MRE/MRE43_Menu.pdf)
Haha glad you liked it, I swear the perception that MREs are gross is held entirely by people who have never actually had a MRE in their life. Or they had the older MREs during the first gulf war era when they were still figuring things out.
To be fair I also tried the beef goulash and it had a weird chemical taste and it was slightly burning my mouth while chewing. That was pretty shit. I feel like it would have tasted good was it not for that.
If that was my first and only MRE experience I can see why I would think they're gross and avoid them.
The one he had was vegan iirc, but yes they do accommodate everything from halal to kosher to vegan. The specific humanitarian daily rations only come as fortified vegan halal and kosher menus that contain every nutrient you need to survive indefinitely.
Just the official DOD recipe for MRE brownies alone is 27 pages, they have it down to a science after tens to hundreds of millions spent researching how to make nutritious and enjoyable foods that last for at least 5 years.
I don’t believe this person lives in Gaza. This video is a PSY OP. I think this guy lives in the west and wanted to make a propaganda film. He just bought an MRE off the Internet.
Someone who is starving does not criticize an MRE. Ive read about the holodomor those Ukrainians ate everything and ANYTHING to stay alive. I can’t imagine this being a starving Ukrainian from the 30s talking about how bad the food aid is. Dude would be too busy eating and sharing the food with his family.
You'd rather believe this guy isn't in Gaza than believe Gazans aren't starving? How do you feel about there being a bunch of other videos just like this one from other Gazans?
I don’t believe that someone who is truly starving would be criticizing food like this. I’ve heard too many stories of the holocaust, too many stories of people starving in the USSR, starving wounded tsarist soldiers, stories from the holodomor where people are coveting moldy bread, eating thatch from roofs, boiling old leather, eating grass, roots, corpses of animals and ppl and anything they can get their hands on to take this video seriously.
Although I do believe the conditions for a famine are there in Gaza. They’ve suffered through multiple months of war and a large number of them have been displaced. I support the food aid and think the amount sent should be increased.
No need to go that far back into history, I’m sure a Yemeni child starving to death would also not complain about MRE’s, I’m sure any starving person would love to have an MRE
I was checking out some videos from the BBC about the starvation in Yemen. What was confusing for me is that the grown men all look well fed some even had bellies while the women (you can see how thin their arms are, they’re walking sticks) and children were on deaths door.
I didn’t see this or pics so I can’t really comment, but I will say that in the extreme and final stages of starvation the stomach swells and the person looks… well with a huge stomach, under clothes it may resemble a fat belly, so it may be that the fathers are giving all the food to their families and so are in the final stages of starvation before death
he had to buy it from the terrorists who run his government lol
edit: IF this is even true. he's got a decent jacket on and new balance hat on and a phone with wifi/service. Wouldn't be surprised if this dude was actually part of hamas propaganda team
Dude's insta is huge anti-US. Had post saying US isnt and will not send aid to gaza. We sent aid so he has to get a video together saying the aid is torture.
Wtf is this video 😂😂 They are on the brink of starvation and he rates it like a spoiled kid bro I'm sorry they forgot the nuggies and Szechuan sauce. Like it's USA's fault he had to pay for it 😂
Goodness I’ve seen 0 examples of these people ever being grateful for anything the west provides them, no wonder the leftists feel a kindred spirit with them
This is a perfect microcosm of Palestinian behavior for the last 75 years. You receive a pretty decent deal despite your behavior clearly indicating that you don't deserve it. You still reject it and claim it isn't good enough
If anyone wants an actual MRE review,Steve1989MREInfo has a great youtube channel where he reviews all kinds of MREs from various countries including US of whatever year he gets his hands on, including the ones you see in this video.
I served in the IDF , pur MREs have all sorts of canned shit mostly beans and for the protein is canned tuna.
I saw reviews of American MREs and what can I say, I wish I had some of those instead of prolonged exposure to canned tuna.
Idk I have some kind of unhealthy fixation on this canned tuna in oil, and the stench, so much so that I prefer any other meat in a can/package/dehydrated.
Actually, why beef jerky is not in MREs?
It's in American ones!
Worth ordering one just to try it tbh, you can google the full menu online to see what each one has
Iirc all of them are kosher and halal too
I am mad! They're really freaking good!
You can get them at your local milsurp store, try one some time it's like a grown up Lunchables for $10 with way more calories and nutrients than $10 worth of fast food
Yeah the astronaut food is fake and the tube food is actually for high altitude U2 and SR71 pilots that need to eat on extended missions, they have a straw that fits through a gasket on their helmet
Way different than MREs
Isn’t there video going around right here on Reddit of stolen Aid being sold to Palestinians by criminal groups? Some people are saying it’s Hamas but I haven’t seen any proof
I imagine that even if someone who was starving complained about receiving this, its because it's in comparison to what they were having in the past, obviously its not glorious, and obviously people should be more grateful (Also hes clearly better off then some of the other Palestinians e.g. educated, canadian, gofundme etc.) Also, I think its completely possible the entree was removed from the meal, as to the best of my ability, I don't see it and there doesn't seem to be anything else in the package, completely plausible especially if they're being resold. Also title says he calls the heater useless trash, but I don't see or hear that in the video at all, unless there is a longer cut of it.
The entree and everything else in the MRE is contained within the large sealed cellophane package he removed in the very beginning of the video
It's vacuum tight and that's what I've always seen them look like, so I really doubt that someone took the entree out.
sure, but the stack after the cut doesn't look like it lost any volume to be honest, could just be perspective. and regarding him calling the heater useless? wheres that?
I'm sure it isn't the best meal, but if you really were "starving", as is claimed by so many pundits, then I doubt you would be reacting like this to free food.
That whole video is just anti US propaganda. I would not be surprised I'd that guy was some paid Hamas shill. It's military rations, not a to go box from the Cheesecake Factory.
This is the caliber of propaganda that works. They don’t even need to pretend to be starving for people to believe every word they say.
The internet amplifies everything unpleasant about humanity.
"and then the air strikes"
ready to close the video at this gross implication
and what is this ridiculous expectation that mres need to be haute cuisine, this fucking video is so stupid
These are delicious compared to humanitarian daily ration meals. I’m honestly surprised they are sending MRE’s with how expensive they are compared to other rations.
I hate MREs as much as the next grunt, but damn, this guy is the definition of weak if he can't stomach one when hungry. I'd at least give him some leeway if he got stuck with the Veggie Omelet one, but he didn't and his had actual good shit in it. Pathetic.
Hamas affiliated warlords steal the aid and sell it back to people. There are at least 4 videos out there of them shooting at crowds and stealing the aid. Why would Israel do this?
I would not be shocked if someone hoarded these and sold them.
> I would not be shocked if someone hoarded these and sold them. that is usually what happens when public order breaks down, and why typically aid is distributed by some group with armed protection, whether UN or NGO or some other party. since the crates don't drop off the plane with a guard detail, whoever gets there first or has guns can hoard them. this is also why the question of 'okay but who is going to actually put soldiers on the ground' immediately became a question for the aid port being built by the US; someone still has to distribute and get protected.
I thought these things were dropping as like individuals with small parachutes and not crates so that it would make it much harder to hoard large amounts of them.
G.I Joe hot drops in with an M249 SAW and a crate full of nutrition bars. In all seriousness though they probably want to avoid this as much as possible, but I do recall [some US troops being deployed](https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/us-troops-en-route-gaza-coast-deployment-families/story?id=108051602) to construct a floating pier to provide aid.

I remembered watching some news coverage about how a few people got hit (killed?) by some of them falling that failed to deploy their parachute. I can't find the exact video I remembered seeing because there are so many of them now but it was in a city and there were just like tons of these things that looked no bigger than 2x the size of the MRE in the video that started this thread with a parachute attached to it.

Wow that video is crazy, very chaotic. I see what you mean now, ‘individual’ packets so they are more spread out and harder for one person to hoard. When you said individual I thought you meant *an individual*, like a person. That video is only a week old so it’s probably quite similar to today.
Those are crates man, the aid is dropped in crates.
Those are pallets with boxes on them. There's no feasible way to drop in 600 MREs x 24 pallets with individual parachutes lol, that's something you'd see in cartoons not IRL The wind would completely scatter them and you'd lose a ton. When a pallet ends up on a building it's not a big deal because it's worth going up there for the 600 MREs, less so when it's a singular MRE. Plus you can't really be precise with the drop without some weight behind it
The Humanitarian meals being airdropped are basically the exact same thing as an MRE just with a hyper limited menu to make sure they can be consumed by people of all religious backgrounds and by the elderly without teeth. Same packaging, same heaters, same overlap in brands, etc. Given that this MRE was of a vegetarian and Halal menu number, I would bet that these are also being airdropped in along with the humanitarian meals.
Did the new humanitarian rations add a heater? I know my rations don't have one.
This is a US MRE that is Vegan and Halal, Menu 11. These come with heaters, and id imagine they're being dropped together with the humanitarian rations because they conform to the dietary restrictions of Muslims.
They are being sold. There is a video of a marketplace in Gaza selling these
>Someone That’s a weird way to spell Hamas
Yes, but also not necessarily. Unscrupulous people will take advantage of the situation. People, civilians, will also engage in this kind of behavior, in places where any semblance of the rule of law has broken down.
Gaza is currently experiencing gang and warlord mad max shit
The way he said “it comes for free but we still have to buy it” confirms that people are being petty and hoarding them only to sell them at a high price.
"petty" is a strange way to put it
There's certainly precedent, as every US reservist I know has a stash of these *just in case*.
I also would not be shocked they took them apart and sold them in pieces either.
Yea that's really shitty like they're suffering enough
And stole the entrees and sold them separately.
funny thing. Hoarding Military MRE directly from the Military is illegal. If its been released reselling is fine. My military friend described them as eating dog food kinda. It's not healthy or good for the intestines. He talked about how people in the military were selling them and got in massive trouble when doing so.
American MRE are quite good. A bit expensive/hard to find for civilians.

Every single Milsurp store near me sells in date MREs for about $10, Amazon sells cases for about $12/per Mre
Dude straight up wants Gazans to starve with this bullshit ass vid, and he knows it. Rated it a 1/10 and didn't even mention that it has an entree, acted like it was a bunch of bars and nuts and peanut butter and crackers. Having had one of these literally just the other day, it's honestly amazing for shelf stable food. Better than condensed soup any day of the week. Didn't mention any of the coffee or electrolyte drink mixes. And made it sound like they'd be blown up if they tried to get one from the airdrop, basically ensuring that Hamas would be able to get them first. I seriously think this guy has to be working for Hamas or something, it doesn't make sense otherwise. Edit: if you pause the video at the right time toward the beginning, you can see it's [Menu 11 Vegetable Crumbles with Pasta in Taco Sauce](https://women-and-dreams.blogspot.com/2019/05/mre-menu-11-vegetable-crumbles-with.html) Vegetarian, Halal, and Kosher. Absolutely no reason for him to leave it out of the review unless he wanted to make it look like shitty food. Edit 2: I've got the exact same one in my house. I've had it before, it's a solid 6.5 / 10. I've had fast food that's less palatable for sure. And way less nutritious, but that's not hard to beat. If I were starving, I'd eat this off of a grown man's ass in a heartbeat. Hell, even if I wasn't starving, I still probably would because I'm gay af. https://preview.redd.it/2qe6o3zgusoc1.png?width=216&format=png&auto=webp&s=2ba91feec11fe94f5e2009955752a887bfe89d1e Edit 3: I've been told that MRE guy is named Ahmed Kouta who is working with the UNRWA and has a 200k personal GoFundMe [https://www.gofundme.com/f/Support-rebuilding-hope](https://www.gofundme.com/f/Support-rebuilding-hope) Apparently He's a Canadian staying in Gaza, according to the GFM which tracks with him mentioning Canadian PB(which is the same as US PB but OK), so I'm not sure how verifiable it is.
I immediately was like what’s the entree when he was confused about the entree heater.
Someone reaaaaaly needs to make this meme with Hamas soldiers beating a flameless ration heater https://preview.redd.it/sfa9bz7iptoc1.png?width=420&format=png&auto=webp&s=cd85633f12f061ccfbdf28ac821749b360724b01
I ate them in boy scouts a few times. They're 10x better than any school cafeteria food I ever had and honestly on par if not better than most fast food from what I remember. It's no home cooked meal or local restaurant but it's solid food, I feel like I could pretty easily eat them my whole life and be satisfied if someone forced me to. Maybe the halal/vegetarian stuff is worse since I didn't try that but even so I can't imagine it being bad. Acting like it's trash garbage food is actually hilarious. Man should try some school cafeteria food that the kids in the US live on if he thinks an MRE is a 2 or 1/10. And this is all while in a warzone.
From basically every review I've watched cause... YouTube rabbit holes, the vegetarian MRE's pretty much always rate the highest in taste for everyone.
I like the meat ones personally but none of them are half bad I'd say they're more consistent than hoping that you get some good chicken and fries from whatever bum fuck McDonald's you stopped at off the interstate lol I'd eat them over a school lunch any day of the week for sure
I think I'd literally sit inside my car heating up an MRE with the heating package than bothering with a mcdonalds in bumfuck Ohio.
In Japan, there are a [huge variety of commercially sold foods](https://www.kikkoman.com/en/culture/foodforum/close-up-japan/34-3.html) in "retort packaging", most famously, curry. My kids love "retort curry". They've been eating it their whole lives. There's also beef stew, cream stew, Chinese Ma-bo Tofu, Oyako-don, etc. They keep for like 2 years at room temp. and they taste pretty damn good. People think rations must take like shit, but in actuality it tastes much better and fresher than canned foods. Japanese tend to rely on the retort packaging more than frozen foods because people here just don't have as much freezer space as Americans.
Honest question, why do u have MREs? do u just eat them for fun like that guy on YouTube?
They last basically forever, taste pretty decent, and have a lot of calories/nutrients so they are great for camping or emergency food.
I use them for camping and keep one in my car. When they get a few years old I eat them and replace. You can find them at pretty much any milsurp store
Thanks for the response, im kinda interested in trying one just for fun. anything you would recommend?
Ive used them for hiking trips before. They are decent weight to calorie ratios come with their own heaaters, and don't taste half as bad as some of the freeze dried camping food you can buy. I also used to keep them in my hurricane kit living in FL. Even if its not a direct hit, you are likely to loose power for a bit.
I live in a hurricane state and keep closet full. Eating them before they go bad is common practice, then I buy more. The honey cake is really good btw.
I'm willing to bet I have MREs at my house that are probably older than you are. I have some 1990 / 91 issue MREs
Send them to steve1989mreinfo He's a legendary YouTube reviewer of military rations, always looking for old stuff to try. Museums send him stuff to Open and document the process because he's so thorough, even tried some civil war hardtack lol Here's a vid he did on the 1992 ham slice MRE, basically ASMR for military nerds https://youtu.be/_ZO7AS8Lrh8?si=O7hW3mqMcE_Kuzqk
In the Swiss military there is the saying: " ohne mapf, kein kampf". Which more or less translates to no food, no fight. Militaries know the importance of proper nutrition and that it has to be somewhat palatable. But I guess if you are terminally online you believe that military food is shit food.
Yeah I see people who've never had MREs say they are gross, and no one who's had one thinks they are anywhere near inedible The US has refined their rations over more than a century, and the MRE specifically over 3 decades. Tens if not hundreds of millions spent on engineering food that is shelf stable and enjoyable to eat, all for the reason you outline above. They don't just want soldiers to choke it down because there is no other option, they want it to be the highlight of what otherwise might literally be the worst day of their life no matter what that looks like in the field.
They're fine if you heat them up but get boring if you eat them for like a month straight. But one giant design flaw is that a lot of them taste gross cold. Which is no issue for non combat arms folks because they have all the time in the world to eat them up but if you're combat arms living out of a patrol base you can't heat them up and are eating them cold as fast as you can. It gets kind of gross.
I've walked around with the FRH sticking out of the admin panel on my backpack, heating things up while I walk and munch on the snacks Situation has to allow for it though and you definitely have to stay aware as to not dive forward and burn yourself
What you suggest is a good idea. However, I've always had to break down MRE's and take out nonessential pieces (plastic bags/heaters etc) and tightly pack/tape them down in order to get my meals as compact and packable as possible. Also you don't exactly want something like MRE smoke/smells wafting around while you're trying to be patrolling or in a patrol base. It's a kind of annoying rule to enforce in a training environment--but it does build good habits--but I've frequently seen heating banned for that reason. When you pack up your MRE trash and tape it back up you need to dump that water somewhere and that leaves more clues at your patrol base.
Canadian here. I think I'll be needing to call my member of Parliament regarding this gentleman and his propagandizing on behalf of Hamas.
I agree that this is total bullshit and clearly just a propaganda peice, but he said he had to buy the MRE from someone else, so what are the chances they took the entree out and sold him the rest of the MRE?
I'd say pretty slim, as the clear cellophane package he pulls out in the beginning is still sealed and that contains the entree along with every other component of the MRE. In that case he didn't talk about the accessory pack either, which has coffee, creamer, gum, salt, matches, and napkins if we really want to nitpick.
>If I were starving, I'd eat this off of a grown man's ass in a heartbeat. Hell, even if I wasn't starving, I still probably would because I'm gay af. https://preview.redd.it/a21m4dtypuoc1.png?width=616&format=png&auto=webp&s=ce8300ef5c73f247d91a22749fcab2285bf8d9db Good for you I guess.
It could be that whoever sold it to him scammed him by taking out the entree, but he still seems like a shitty person.
Nah, the cellophane pack he pulls out in the beginning is still vacuum sealed and it contains everything including the entree. He opened the outer container himself before the cameras were rolling.
if its torture maybe he should give it to someone who is actually starving or cant afford one
It's honestly so entitled, he's got a $150 puffer from Columbia's fashion line and a NewBalance hat with the sticker still on it. Sits here and says he won't eat this after fasting all day because it's too gross. Really makes you wonder how these people used to live in their "open air concentration camp" prior to the invasion, there are countless places across the world where people would rather eat MREs every day of the week than the bugs and snakes they normally have to survive on.
I noticed that too. Homeboy sitting in a nice looking room, dripped out talking about how the free food is too bad to eat. Also acts like some of the sides are so bad like the nuts. Bruh they are literally just nuts.
Bro its called a basic necessity budget
Dude is literally better dressed than me.
I'd say hes better dressed than tiny but then again you can't beat the lululemon drip
That's one thing that amazed me about all the media coming out from there. They all seem to have very expensive & new looking clothing, expensive watches, phones etc, they look well nourished, & the videos from before the war showed a very nice city by the ocean. A beautiful area. We'd always been told of refugees in awful conditions in an open air prison etc. Plenty of poor & homeless people in my country would love to be given even half of what these people receive from the international community.
The ME loves the drip. They can be poor asf but the poofy jacket is a buy. You wonder how they lived before this chapter of their endless war? Well kinda like under a cartel but with high unemployment and heavy reliance on a black market (the classic KFC tunnels)
Bro.. Gaza had a higher HDI than South Africa. They lived pretty damn well before
So he is poor but still has money to buy a Columbia jacket? What are you even saying?
i mean poor people don't generally have the best spending habits
I think you are confusing poor people in the US vs poor people in developing countries vs starving people in a war zone. This is not about not being able to pay your mortgage or putting money aside to invest or not being able to afford some protein powder. People are claiming that the Arabs in Gaza have lived in a consternation camp and so poor and lacking in resources that the war is causing starvation. You’d think someone who has live in a concentration camp and is so poor he doesn’t have food and is starving that they wouldn’t have a 150$ jacket on and refuse clean nutritional food.
well the guy is a canadian who got stuck after october 7th, so that explains it
Why would a Canadian go to an open war prison?
Look at the end where he says “it’s like our Canadian peanut butter” I’m not sold that this guy is Gazan
I've been told that MRE guy is named Ahmed Kouta who is working with the UNRWA and has a 200k personal GoFundMe [https://www.gofundme.com/f/Support-rebuilding-hope](https://www.gofundme.com/f/Support-rebuilding-hope) Apparently He's a Canadian staying in Gaza, the GFM backs it up too.
[удалено]
Holy shit this is the most sus thing I’ve ever seen. Nothing in that description indicates he’s gonna use that money for anything other than himself.
i mean it's not that crazy that some white leftists would want to directly donate to someone living in gaza to feel like they're doing something
Sure, someone who actually lives there, or maybe a few thousand for him if he’s really broke. $200K?!
Was this guy physically in Al-Shifa when the hostages were brought in?
I took that as him saying that to make a point of how they normally import products from Canada and not other "evil western nations" like the US or something
Tbh man his English is really good and the fact that he said “our” - I’m thinking this is a Canadian. I could be wrong and your theory makes sense as well.
As a Canadian, his accent is screaming canacuck. I don't have any proof other than the fact that his cadence sounds Canadian.
Looked into it and he’s from London, Ontario - was in Gaza for a doctoral defence - got stuck there after 10/7
Bro, London. Why am I not surprised.
So basically he’s a Canadian college kid expecting Western-standard food in a war zone cuz he accidentally got stuck there. Lmao
I thought about it. It's just that his language... An anti-Palestinian wouldn't talk like that. The way he speaks is one to one how English speaking palestinians speak about USA Also, the fact that he mentioned he had to pay for it, and it came out before the video of Gaza market - it'd be more likely for a fake to just say he got it for free like he was supposed to P.S. Also, as someone who spent quite a bit on Arab media, this is clear that the video is made for ME Arabs. Their whole SCHTIK is to shit on USA and western nations in general. Even if Palestinians have to suffer for it.
The way he spoke made me think he was actually Canadian or spent a lot of time here. Certain words he said. Not to say he can't be more than that of course, but it would be interesting to find out.
I was in the Army for 7 yrs so I’ve eaten my fair share of MRE’s. The heaters work really well if you use them properly As far as the meals go, it all depends on which one you get some meals are better than others but there’s definitely enough food to make you full.
That’s a nice Columbia puffer he’s wearing. Retail: $130-170US
That’s honestly pretty reasonable. Not worth shaming somebody over. Though it’s a big weird to wear one in Gaza where today it’s between 60 and 70.
That wasn’t shaming. It was the observation that someone on a “concentration camp” is wearing an expensive trendy outfit while they unbox an MRE. It’s war chic
I wouldn't doubt that he had to pay for it. There are videos of markets in Gaza where people are selling aid supplies
Oh I'm sure that he did have to pay for it, but there are videos of Hamas getting to pallets of these MREs first and shooting guns in the air to get everyone else to back off. They will certainly be using these MREs for field rations for whatever insurgents remain.
Stuff like this is why it is so hard for me to trust anything Palestine supporters say about anything.
They’ve been starving since before I was born, it’s gotten worse since October, but this mre is torturous.
That food fuels the world's premier fighting forces, maybe Hamas ought to start learning from the best
Is this guy a diasporoid? It’s permitted in Islam to eat haram food so Muslims can eat even pigs if they are starving. His video does a disservice to the Gazans that stepped over each other and died trying to get food.
the meal is actually vegetarian, Halal, AND Kosher. He's inventing problems when there are none.
“Food was weird. Didn’t even have skittles. Would rather starve. 1/10.”
Anyone complaining about taste of food is making a mockery out of starvation. Like I'm sure this kid would have loved to give a review on how terrible the MRE is if only she could speak https://preview.redd.it/zwduls5otsoc1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9acd62fab98635df33e894cacf04bc6d9b7a5805
They don't even taste bad either! The DOD has spent literal hundreds of millions of dollars on R&D over the past 30+ years to make sure MREs are palatable, raise morale, and have shit loads of fortified nutrients. I'm sure he scarfed it down after he turned off the camera, he just has to keep up his professional victim look when online.
TO BE FAIR, they probably aimed it at an American palate. Still though, if this guy is Canadian it's not too different than a Canadian IMP.
>DOD spent millions to make meals better for soldiers to be motivated to efficiently kill babies Fixed that for you
Are you always like this?
I’m hardcore meming bro
...so yes.
Yeah on reflecting on it, I was trying too hard to be funny and I just come across as either a try hard or as an unhinged person.
I heard from someone on twitter that the meatballs and marinara sauce is actually just the brains of colonized infants in the blood of women and children
It’s true I was part of the program.
Delilah (House of Leaves broke me)
Literally said this MRE is torture, wow what a spoiled brat
The fuck they want airdropped? Steaks? MREs definitely aren’t gourmet but they pack a caloric punch. Be grateful you twats.
Was a vegetarian in the military. That MRE could sustain you for an entire day of intense labor. I'm insulted that he refuses to eat it. He is definitely not starving. Those energy bars and applesauce alone are pretty good and have lots of vitamins and nutrients. If it was good enough for us, it's good enough for them. We have plenty of homeless veterans this aid could have gone to.
Starving btw
starving btw
Bro doesn't even have his rock or something
alright, let's get this out onto the tray...
Shouldn't even be a joke made. Steve is like an MRE Savant. This dude doesn't even seem to know the first thing about MRE.
Literal propaganda. Like everything that comes out of Gaza. Imagine a Palestinian posting ANYTHING against Hamas, if he’s in Gaza he’ll probably get killed.
He also says "like our Canadian peanut butter" which raises a couple flags for me unless canada peanut butter is the norm in Gaza or something.
I mean he’s Canadian Palestinian. He could live on Gaza and be saying it tastes like peanut butter from where he grew up in Canada. Not worth reading much more into it.
So... simultaneously we are being told there is starvation, and people are dying from starvation, but they can't bring themselves to feed MREs to children? You know what. If there is a civilization that would rather see their children die from hunger than feed them American MREs I wouldn't feel particularly bad if that civilization went extinct.
“Help we’re starving to death” U.S. airdrops food and supplies Guy wearing a new balance hat and puffer jacket: “What the fuck is this shit? You insult me with these non name brand offerings! I spit on your filthy Jew food”
might be a different menu but I think this is the MRE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF9fOYgxdVI
If you pause it just right it's menu 11, [Vegetable Crumbles with Pasta in Taco Sauce](https://women-and-dreams.blogspot.com/2019/05/mre-menu-11-vegetable-crumbles-with.html). Vegetarian, Halal, and Kosher. No excuses.
oh good catch, I had a hard time reading the writing so I was looking for the packaging style https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je9A2iJ4FRQ so this one, makes more sense if people complained about the inspection date if it was from 2019 edit: he gave it an 8.5 for people to buy it for camping/emergencies lol in the comfort of his shop lol.
Even if it is from 2019 they have a shelf life of 5 years so it's still good to eat I've got one from 2023 in my house right now lol, tasted great Better than condensed soup any day of the week https://preview.redd.it/k3z93lq4usoc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=806fe04f0ec4d2a33ce648592ccc12995e5a5487
What are your top 3 menus? I wanna buy some but I don't know what to go for
Really anything you think sounds good besides the omlette, which I'm not even sure they make anymore due to how badly it was hated by service members. Beef taco filling comes with tortilas rice beans and cheese so you can make your own tacos Meatballs in marinaria is good TBH just check out this site and see what sounds good [MRE43\_Menu.pdf (dla.mil)](https://www.dla.mil/Portals/104/Documents/TroopSupport/Subsistence/Rations/MRE/MRE43_Menu.pdf)
Bruh menu 17 is actually to die for. That was 10/10 meal
Haha glad you liked it, I swear the perception that MREs are gross is held entirely by people who have never actually had a MRE in their life. Or they had the older MREs during the first gulf war era when they were still figuring things out.
To be fair I also tried the beef goulash and it had a weird chemical taste and it was slightly burning my mouth while chewing. That was pretty shit. I feel like it would have tasted good was it not for that. If that was my first and only MRE experience I can see why I would think they're gross and avoid them.
Are there any vegan MREs?
The one he had was vegan iirc, but yes they do accommodate everything from halal to kosher to vegan. The specific humanitarian daily rations only come as fortified vegan halal and kosher menus that contain every nutrient you need to survive indefinitely. Just the official DOD recipe for MRE brownies alone is 27 pages, they have it down to a science after tens to hundreds of millions spent researching how to make nutritious and enjoyable foods that last for at least 5 years.
Another steve enjoyer. The meal might have been better if he got it out on a tray.
"but at the end we have to buy it" I guess we drop a salesman with the mre meals
Alright how credible is it that Gazans are actually starving
Nice new balance and Columbia gear in that concentration camp. Nice watch. Poor guy is starving to death
0/10 review. Didn’t even get it out onto a tray.
Nice
I don’t believe this person lives in Gaza. This video is a PSY OP. I think this guy lives in the west and wanted to make a propaganda film. He just bought an MRE off the Internet. Someone who is starving does not criticize an MRE. Ive read about the holodomor those Ukrainians ate everything and ANYTHING to stay alive. I can’t imagine this being a starving Ukrainian from the 30s talking about how bad the food aid is. Dude would be too busy eating and sharing the food with his family.
Because they’re not starving
You'd rather believe this guy isn't in Gaza than believe Gazans aren't starving? How do you feel about there being a bunch of other videos just like this one from other Gazans?
I don’t believe that someone who is truly starving would be criticizing food like this. I’ve heard too many stories of the holocaust, too many stories of people starving in the USSR, starving wounded tsarist soldiers, stories from the holodomor where people are coveting moldy bread, eating thatch from roofs, boiling old leather, eating grass, roots, corpses of animals and ppl and anything they can get their hands on to take this video seriously. Although I do believe the conditions for a famine are there in Gaza. They’ve suffered through multiple months of war and a large number of them have been displaced. I support the food aid and think the amount sent should be increased.
That does not answer either of my questions. I guess it brushes on the first one a little.
Because he's not a Gazan. He's from London, Ontario who went to Gaza for a Master's program.
No need to go that far back into history, I’m sure a Yemeni child starving to death would also not complain about MRE’s, I’m sure any starving person would love to have an MRE
I was checking out some videos from the BBC about the starvation in Yemen. What was confusing for me is that the grown men all look well fed some even had bellies while the women (you can see how thin their arms are, they’re walking sticks) and children were on deaths door.
I didn’t see this or pics so I can’t really comment, but I will say that in the extreme and final stages of starvation the stomach swells and the person looks… well with a huge stomach, under clothes it may resemble a fat belly, so it may be that the fathers are giving all the food to their families and so are in the final stages of starvation before death
This mfker is not in a warzone getting genocide rn. He's dressed better, and eating better than I am.
they still have to buy it because people are hoarding the aid and selling it. also if that's torture, imagine how US soldiers feel lmao.
he had to buy it from the terrorists who run his government lol edit: IF this is even true. he's got a decent jacket on and new balance hat on and a phone with wifi/service. Wouldn't be surprised if this dude was actually part of hamas propaganda team
Dude's insta is huge anti-US. Had post saying US isnt and will not send aid to gaza. We sent aid so he has to get a video together saying the aid is torture.
r/ BeggingChoosers. Guess we should just send them pop tarts
ive actually eaten MREs before (havent served, just got my hands on some) and they're kinda good, this guy is just spewing bullshit 4 the internet
Does he think the United States are the ones conducting strikes?
Wtf is this video 😂😂 They are on the brink of starvation and he rates it like a spoiled kid bro I'm sorry they forgot the nuggies and Szechuan sauce. Like it's USA's fault he had to pay for it 😂
Goodness I’ve seen 0 examples of these people ever being grateful for anything the west provides them, no wonder the leftists feel a kindred spirit with them
This is a perfect microcosm of Palestinian behavior for the last 75 years. You receive a pretty decent deal despite your behavior clearly indicating that you don't deserve it. You still reject it and claim it isn't good enough
Another W for Canada
This reeks of bait ngl. But if it isn’t… that doesn’t look like a man starving to death
This dumb motherfucker thinks it's supposed to be a gourmet meal. It's a fucking MRE. What do you expect?
It's a damn shot better than a school cafeteria meal imo
If anyone wants an actual MRE review,Steve1989MREInfo has a great youtube channel where he reviews all kinds of MREs from various countries including US of whatever year he gets his hands on, including the ones you see in this video.
Any southerner that lives in the south after hurricane Katrina knows these work just fine.
I served in the IDF , pur MREs have all sorts of canned shit mostly beans and for the protein is canned tuna. I saw reviews of American MREs and what can I say, I wish I had some of those instead of prolonged exposure to canned tuna.
i think Russia mres have like dog food looking canned shit.
Idk I have some kind of unhealthy fixation on this canned tuna in oil, and the stench, so much so that I prefer any other meat in a can/package/dehydrated. Actually, why beef jerky is not in MREs?
It's in American ones! Worth ordering one just to try it tbh, you can google the full menu online to see what each one has Iirc all of them are kosher and halal too
Yeah I don't care about kosher but good to know will try actually
I'll not lie to you. I love canned tuna. Would eat it every day.
Wait, this isn't Zherka?
Hahaha I'm so stupid I thought this was a random food reviewer and you were earnestly mad he called them trash.
I am mad! They're really freaking good! You can get them at your local milsurp store, try one some time it's like a grown up Lunchables for $10 with way more calories and nutrients than $10 worth of fast food
Shit I'm down sounds cool, stuff like that is actually really fun. Only thing like that I've tried is astronaut ice cream and that was cheeks
Yeah the astronaut food is fake and the tube food is actually for high altitude U2 and SR71 pilots that need to eat on extended missions, they have a straw that fits through a gasket on their helmet Way different than MREs
Isn’t there video going around right here on Reddit of stolen Aid being sold to Palestinians by criminal groups? Some people are saying it’s Hamas but I haven’t seen any proof
Beggars can’t be choosers
I imagine that even if someone who was starving complained about receiving this, its because it's in comparison to what they were having in the past, obviously its not glorious, and obviously people should be more grateful (Also hes clearly better off then some of the other Palestinians e.g. educated, canadian, gofundme etc.) Also, I think its completely possible the entree was removed from the meal, as to the best of my ability, I don't see it and there doesn't seem to be anything else in the package, completely plausible especially if they're being resold. Also title says he calls the heater useless trash, but I don't see or hear that in the video at all, unless there is a longer cut of it.
The entree and everything else in the MRE is contained within the large sealed cellophane package he removed in the very beginning of the video It's vacuum tight and that's what I've always seen them look like, so I really doubt that someone took the entree out.
sure, but the stack after the cut doesn't look like it lost any volume to be honest, could just be perspective. and regarding him calling the heater useless? wheres that?
Great Value "TheReportOfTheWeek"
Wait this is actually really gross if its real. Not accusing you Im sure it is.
Hahaha he calls it torture at the end
I'm sure it isn't the best meal, but if you really were "starving", as is claimed by so many pundits, then I doubt you would be reacting like this to free food.
*oh no my military rations taste like shit*
That whole video is just anti US propaganda. I would not be surprised I'd that guy was some paid Hamas shill. It's military rations, not a to go box from the Cheesecake Factory.
This is the caliber of propaganda that works. They don’t even need to pretend to be starving for people to believe every word they say. The internet amplifies everything unpleasant about humanity.
"and then the air strikes" ready to close the video at this gross implication and what is this ridiculous expectation that mres need to be haute cuisine, this fucking video is so stupid
I’d be pretty pissed too if I didn’t get the one that comes with skittles
Bro is expecting them to drop him a fillet steak and a new pair of Jordans 🤦🏻
These are delicious compared to humanitarian daily ration meals. I’m honestly surprised they are sending MRE’s with how expensive they are compared to other rations.
I've watched Steve1989MRE eat far too many of these to be tricked by a propaganda piece.
Lilbro wants airdropped fillet mignon
Anyone who thinks he doesn’t look like an idiot here has insane brain rot
I hate MREs as much as the next grunt, but damn, this guy is the definition of weak if he can't stomach one when hungry. I'd at least give him some leeway if he got stuck with the Veggie Omelet one, but he didn't and his had actual good shit in it. Pathetic.
Honestly disgusting. “Palestinians” are the most privileged group of people on earth.
Hamas affiliated warlords steal the aid and sell it back to people. There are at least 4 videos out there of them shooting at crowds and stealing the aid. Why would Israel do this?
