SERVICE MEMBERS IN OUR NATION’S ARMED FORCES MIGHT MAKE FUN OF THEIR EMERGENCY AND ON-THE-GO RATIONS… BUT IT LOOKS LIKE BEARS DON’T HAVE THE SAME QUALMS.
THE U-S MILITARY STOCKPILES “MEALS READY TO EAT” – BETTER KNOWN AS M-R-Es.
THEY’RE FULL MEALS THAT CAN BE EATEN QUICKLY AND EASILY BY JUST TEARING OPEN A BAG – SO EASY, APPARENTLY… EVEN A BEAR CAN DO IT.
RECENTLY, HUNGRY BEARS BROKE INTO A STORAGE ROOM AT JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON IN ALASKA– WHICH IS FITTINGLY NICKNAMED J-BEAR – AND HELPED THEMSELVES TO A READY-TO-EAT FEAST.
AND IT’S NOT JUST FOOD THE BEARS SEEM TO BE AFTER AT THE BASE…
