He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

I could not, would not, on a boat.
I will not, will not, with a goat.
I will not eat them in the rain.
I will not eat them on a train.
Not in the dark! Not in a tree!
Not in a car! You let me be!
I do not like them in a box.
I do not like them with a fox.
I will not eat them in a house.
I do not like them with a mouse.
I do not like them here or there.
I do not like them ANYWHERE!
I do not like
green eggs
and ham!

I may be unique, I LOVED Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast, or $hit on a Shingle. It was fashionable for GIs to hate it and refuse to eat it, so there was always seconds. It was the most expensive meal the Army prepared. Yum!

Bob-- I still get it today when i go out and eat breakfast. Instead of the toast, I have the cook pour the creamed chip beef over hash brown potatoes. The real breakfast of champions.

I only ever turned down one field meal out of haybox, was in Ft Lewis WA and the meal came from a US kitchen with Canadian
cooks assisting... It looked like they'd dropped whole chickens in a shredder feathers and all. I think it was actually some sort of pasta but if you could have seen what I saw... Coffee and a sandwich instead.

We had our Partners' Dinner in a private room at the fancy "21 Club" in NYC... We got the menus a day in advance, and I saw Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast! I figured if I loved it in the Army, I would faint over it at "21." When we sat down for dinner, the waiters brought the meals in covered dishes and whisked the tops off in unison, but mine was late. Everybody was smiling as the waiter brought me a helmet liner to sit on, then presented the SOS with a flourish. Everybody howled, but I didn't care the meal was extraordinary

That would have been good. Must have been an ex E6 in the kitchen...Mess NCO. Just not having to eat in the edge of a wood line would have made it fine.
