Pero pwera gaba ang taste aning mga MREs oi. Di ka kahurot isa ka pack. Now I understand why US troops who are deployed or doing exercises in Mindanao are exchanging these MREs for chicken/goats/pork etc.
As an example, there is a guy in Zamboanga who sells surplus US military gear/stuff thru his FB page. He explains he is part of the "logistics support" and most of his stuff come from swaps. He can sell MREs by the boxes.
