  • Check out this full review of a Vietnam War MCI or "C Ration"!
    This is the food US soldiers ate when deployed in the Vietnam War.
    Simple, much like an MRE but the meals were in cans. They used to have cigarettes in Rations until 1972.
    This one here turned out to be in pretty bad shape except the cigarettes.
    Check out this video and see for yourself!

I have shared him out to so many family members and friends, I truly believe his content can cater to so many crowds. I started watching him when I was doing research on World War I. And have been hooked ever since. The education, the food, the edginess of eating said food despite it being super old and just the wildness of that, and of course the MRE crowd too. I even had a genuinely concerned conversation with my fiancée about him when he stopped posting for awhile. I will never stop watching SteveMRE. Love his content!

The whole store smelled like death, so the *supervisor* started walking around, vaping, to try and cover it up. When that didn't work, he lit up a cigarette and did the same thing again.

    That brought back memories. My favorite was ham and eggs. We became quite the chefs when it came to C rats. Guys would invent all kinds of different concoctions. The P38 was our most prized possession, without that you didn’t eat. There were always extra p38s at the bottom of the Crats case, but most times they were gone. The rear echelon mfrs would pick through the good shit and then repack them for us in the field. When guys saw it was an unopened case, they’d scramble to get the good stuff lol. 1st Cav 68-70

    I was in Boy Scouts in the 1970's and we regularly got oversized deliveries of surplus army chow from the local guard units, among them were C rations, large cans of "survival crackers" 1 gallon cans of the best peanut butter I've ever had and a bunch of other foods. I liked the C rations, though we didn't get any that had cigarettes in them. Watching you open this took me right back to my days as a Second Class Boy Scout. I was glad to eat these in my tent in the rain, and doubly glad the war ended before we had to eat them in the Nam.

    I served two tours in Vietnam, 1965-66, 1970-71. My favorite C-rats were Ham and Eggs chopped and Ham and Lima's. Beef Spiced wasn't bad either. We usually had Tabasco sauce sent from home to liven them up a bit. The canteen water with halazone tabs tasted awful so we also had packs of Cool Aid mailed to us. They included heat tabs to heat the meals but I usually used C-4 explosive. You could pinch a small piece off and light it up. It was the "microwave" of field cooking, fast and hot! I didn't smoke so I would trade cigarettes to other Marines who did. We gave the Vietnamese kids the candy and cookies and hot chocolate packs that came in some rations. Marine Corps tours were 13 months long ,my unit was always in the field so we would get one hot meal a day most of the time. Rest of the time it was C-rats. for your meals and a rubber poncho for your roof. When you were killed the poncho also became your shroud.

    For those who are interested in how the C-ration was managed and prepared and a little about the life of a line doggy in Vietnam, here's a long post.
    I say managed because, as a brand new 2d lt., one of the first things my platoon sergeant showed me was how to distribute our resupply drops (which he did as the platoon sergeant). There were certain ítems that were coveted -- pecan cake roll, pound cake, peaches and applesauce being at the top of the list -- and none of them came in the same ration.
    So, to avoid conflicts and claims of favoritism, he would open each case, turn it up side down and move the boxes around to make them random -- because everyone quickly learned to memorize the location of each ration in the case. Then, each guy in the platoon, platoon leader and sergeant included took a turn pulling out their choices.
    The bartering then began. You see, everyone wanted to do things like combine pound cake with peaches or pecan cake roll with applesauce. The problem being they each came in different boxes. The bartering often included one guy agreeing to trade a desireable can -- like spiced beef -- for an undesireable one -- like ham and eggs (affectionately known as ham and mfers) in order to get his prized peaches, or what ever.
    The Tabasco company produced a C-ration Cookbook that was sent free of charge to anyone writing from a Vietnam APO (Army Post Office). Pizza could be made by taking out the cheese and all but one cracker from the B-2 unit; mixing the cheese spread with a spiced beef unit; dumping the mix on top of the remaining cracker; placing another cracker on top; putting the can back in the box and lighting the box on fire. The pizza was ready when the box went out.
    Apple crunch could be made by mixing applesauce in with the pecan cake roll, puting the can in the box -- well, you get the idea.
    If you had access to the local economy, ramen noodles were used as the starting ingredient in many a combat stew. The ammo can for machinegun rounds was a good size for cooking stew and easily carried. Of course, everyone carried a bottle of Tabasco sauce along with a bottle of LSA (gun lubricant) and had a can opener hung from his dog tags chain.
    And that's the way it was.

      the whole "cigarettes" thing. the way he says it is like it's laughable or ridiculous. i'll try to keep this short. there is no proof that nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) causes cancer. cigarettes MIGHT but they're full of chemicals. once, i saw a sign about a recall of all the last week's marlboros due to too much ammonia. i actually had some and had noticed the weird head rush; i was an 18 year old stoner. in the 70s, they banned cigarette ads and since then the nation has banned them everywhere and acts as if even smelling second hand smoke takes a year off of your life. since the early 70s, cancer rates have tripled in this nation. any connection? no. what it means is that you will get cancer from something else so smoke em if you got em; especially when charlie is sniping from the trees.

    I had those at Basic at FT Knox in 1975, so boxes were marked mace in 1945, they had Chesterfield' Lucky Strikes, and Camels. The Nam era had new brands, the cheese and peanut butter were in their own cans on top of the main meal. 3 years later no more cigarettes in the condiment package.
