Military Rations In Afghanistan.

I must say that all the Rat packs i have seen for sale under the counter are the old style ones (with the target face on the box)... never seen the new multi climate ones. (and dont expect to untill the mess in the middle east is over)
The argument that buying ratpacks is depriving those that "need" them doesnt hold NAY water im afraid. What people tend to forget is that most issue kit is made by a private contractor, that is to say they do NOT have exclusivity who they sell their wares to. Companies like BCB who sell stuff on the high street also sell stuff in the NAAFI and then mob guys get it through the hight street chain S.T.O.R.E.S...its like you saying dont buy the Magnum boots from Endicotts as youre depriving lads on the front line...
By buying ratpacks from a civvy supplier youre not depriving anyone. Ive been on Ops and the amount of food you get bombarded with is phenominal! Thats just the ratpacks...never mind the mess tent.
As for the link to the guy that got banged up for putting stuff on eBay, it was already issued to the MoD...it was basically handling stolen goods!
the things our lads and lasses are deprived of on the front line are decent APC's and such like...not ratpacks for gods sake!
