Well, they have guns... I'm guessing they won't be without food for too awfully long....

Soylent Green, anyone?

They were usually pretty damn good about making sure we got fed even if it meant a box lunch or brown bag or a lowly MRE.

Shit I missed a few meals in the .mil due to F ups, no big deal.  hell one time when I was in the guard and got tasked out and came back to the food in the dumpster and the kitchen cleaned the NCO fund Sgt. handed us $50 to go eat in town and bring him the reciept.  Found a cheap local seafood place and was quite happy.

Frankly I can stand to miss a few meals these day.  Today was potato pancakes for BF and dinner was fried cabbage, home made pierogies and a polish style pork chop.  I may have missed a meal but i didn't miss a calorie I'm sure.
