We were still eating WW2-produced C rations in the US Army through the mid-1970s. Personally, I preferred them to the later MREs, especially the canned fruits. MREs are the current US field ration, and have gotten much better over the years, though they are still referred to as "Meals refused by Ethiopians" or "Meals Rodents Evade". Doc
