Not sure what subject this should go under, so thought I'd post it "off topic." It has been rumored that MREs and other rations were/are packaged with some intent of providing a bit of shielding for the internal food pouches/boxes against radioactive fallout, chemical agent vapors, and aerosolized biological agents. I'm curious if anyone knows what, if any, protection/shielding was or is incorporated in the packaging of German, French, British, and other modern rations discussed in the forums and described elsewhere on the mreinfo website. Thanks. A bit of history, some ww2 d-ration bars were packaged in a protective outer wrap designed to block penetration of mustard vapors.

Thanks Cracker! was not sure if I'd ever posted it before, but meant to------it sucks getting old!

Haha it's an old saying on the base;

"Your never to old to learn. After a while you can even learn the same thing again and again"
