Ah yes, my fellow Americans who've never served bitching about a decent meal for deployed servicemembers. In 1992, as the L.A. Riots wound down, my unit was on two-hour standby in an armory parking lot in Irvine, about 35 miles from the riot zone. Day two into eating bad baloney sandwiches on cheap bread, I realized I was in my home turf. I asked the S4 what the daily allotment was. I called an Orange County catering company that I was familiar with from GOP politics and asked what they could do for the allotment. The economy was weak at the time and the caterer was thrilled with the idea. The next day he was down at the parking lot with an amazing spread - breakfast (Mexican), lunch and dinner - and his servers wore skirts above their knees... which the soldiers appreciated as well. Win-win. I'm glad @TheAtlantic wasn't there to misreport on it.
