Looks like a similar video to the one that was making the rounds here a couple of weeks ago from that press junket the Pentagon had for the "new rations" - which actually looked to be more of a taste-testing of parts from the new UGR-Es.

My only complaint about the video is that it looks like CNN took a standard-def 4:3 ratio video and stretched it to look HD at 16:9 - which only distorted the video. You'd think CNN would know better.

But at least this video had a little more footage than previous videos - they showed the UGR-E being activated and had some nicer shots of the First Strike Ration.

Was it just me or did it look like that FSR had the "TM" (trademark) written on the bag in pen?

Yeah looks liked someone slashed "TM" on the bag before it made it debut on camera.

I can't figure why the U.S. Government makes business out of trade marking names.
