For Soldiers at Fort Carson, Food Is Scarce

[OldSolduer]

This principle of leadership is key - "Know your troops and promote their welfare."

Food is the basis of almost any good plan. There's a reason that R comes before Q in R&Q.

You get it. It seems some don't.

Good food can be the difference between a very shitty time and just a bad time.

Morale is dependent on a number of things and if you serve the troops shit food.....well you're starting behind already.

2 of the 3 of them didn't know how to use a knife to cut a steak...

Cutting rare or well done steak with a flimsy plastic knife is a Canadian army classic skill.

Bayonets are for stabby-stab, not cutty-cut.

Stabby stabby isn't required as much anymore. A bayonet is a handy tool but steak cutting isn't one of the tasks its good at.
