many of them are military,too! many in the military have "separate rations";they get paid instead of eating at the mess hall,they can pay per meal there,or eat off-base.
Remember that the military has three meals a day.
Not all military personnel eat three meals on base every day but Ok, I can divide by three. You're still off by an order of magnitude or two.
Approximately the total number of meals eaten by the active-duty military personnel of every nation on earth put together!

Some get four, and there is more than the US military on this planet. How knows? maybe even from other planets, too. :)
How so? I just asked how it compared, I never said it was higher or lower.
And the streets would be crowded by people trying to steal whatever they can. Unemployment insurance is a premium you pay to keep unemployed people from looting.
Dream on! Most charities spend about 10% on their cause (less if possible). The rest goes to management and advertising. When you pay tax at least you're sure your money is spend somewhere and not ending up in some rich guys bank account!

Its a question of readieness. Blackwater may be fine serving up slop back on the base during peace time. But When the sh*t hits the fan and the Blackwater cooks turn tail and run, it'll be too late to start tooling up the army kitchen.
When the s*it hits the fan, the cooks ought to be running! They shouldn't be there in the first place.
So you approve of extortion.
What charities are those? Let me know so they get added to the no-give list.
So, no one needs food in a battle zone?
If bullets are flying, MREs, if you're lucky.

Nope, without the military you would be enslaved by your enemies and they would take everything away from you,
Too simple, they print the money no? hehe

Have you ever tried MREs with bullets flying over your head? The ones I've seen had a self heating pouch that needs water to work. That takes time and attention away from not being shot
Unemployment insurance isn't "welfare."
Well, OK, then volunteer to turn over all your income to support the welfare crowd, but I do object to your wanting to steal my money to do so.
Hope This Helps! Rich
No. That is not true. *Most* charities comply with a code of conduct (either voluntarily or in some countries because they have to) that limits the cost of administration (which includes advertising) to less than 10%.
Most, is not all, and you can find bad apples, even lots of bad apples (there are over 100,000(!!!) registered charities in Australia alone) but that doesn't mean most are bad.

...and strolling on down to the cafeteria doesn't?
take everything away from you,
That paper just represents "money".
It is if it's subsidized by the taxpayer. It's often used as welfare, too.
Do you feel "forgotten"? ;-)
The military doesn't have cafeterias, and only a know nothing idiot would 'stroll' anywhere during a battle.
It would be a field kitchen, or precooked food delivered in a large and heavy vehicle. That's a lot better than trying to drag the MREs and water with you all the time, and most battles don't last more than a few hours at a time. There is also safe water to wash your hands and face before you eat. That meal may be nothing more than a hot spam sandwich and something to drink, but it's greatly appreciated by the troops. I didn't care for the few MREs I've had. They were almost as bad as the Korean War surplus rations they gave us, during cold weather survival training in '73.
They weed out people who can't live without missing a meal while in basic or bootcamp.

They're giving us plasma.
