I did CW reenacting for fifteen years. If you've ever had hardtack, that wouldn't surprise you in the least. There is a reason that Skillygully was so popular (frying it with coffee and/or bacon grease) IMO, the only way to get that stuff down.

I still have some Vietnam-era C-Rats out in the garage, but they're probably STILL edible - which is FRIGHTENING on its own!!!
Or at least no less edible than the originally were...
Being a squad leader, I always fed my men first and got what was left. I got so sick of Turkey Loaf, I stopped eating the meal and simply ate the Fruit Cocktail. Eventually, some of my squad members took pity on my losing weight and would re-appropriate my meal with one from another squad's case of C's before they gave me the remaining meal (it usually wound up being worms-in-blood-sauce with meatballs).
I STILL can't eat canned turkey, but I have no problem with spaghetti and red sauce.

I can attest to how hard it really is to break a fully-framed passenger car window. I have bounced brake rotors off of windows from spitting distance. I have seen bricks leave chips and yet the window is unbroken. It's actually easier to break them from the inside because the curvature works for you and not against you (like an egg). The rear windshield breaks the easiest if you hit them by an edge.
Still, that guy is going to have a headache for a while.

A rock kicked up by the rear wheels and bouncing off the front of a trailer will do a number on the rear window of a Jeep hardtop. My passenger and I immediately started looking for who was shooting at us, as loud as it was. Later realized what had to have caused it. Allstate spent $1700 replacing it, my glass deductible was $100. The guy who replaced it (the only glass guy in town) didn't make any money either, because he broke the first one putting it in. Due to no road access, both pieces had to be air freighted in at high cost. Years later I would still find the occasional piece of glass in the back of the Jeep. Haven't found any for a while, though.

The MREs I ate at Cannon in 1996 contained M&Ms that were proud to be the Official Sponsor of the 1984 Olympic Games.
Once you warmed them up in a runner truck's heater vent the meals were okay. Except for that goddamned Ham Slice.
