      Not in the us either, but these are thought of as ‘quality’ foods (especially for soldiers), so its akin to them having a ‘last dinner’ of sorts before a deployment. Since middle east, and US has syrian (or iranian??) interests I assume its Syria (or Iran?), and that something big is aboutto go down there.
