To be honest I had no idea we actually had fast food on US bases. We do. It makes sense. To boost morale during war give a solider something familiar from home. Some comfort food for thought. But you've got to agree somewhat with a recent decision to remove fast food from military bases in Afghanistan. In a blog post by Sgt. Maj. Michael T. Hall he discusses changes to morale, welfare and recreation facilities on U.S. bases.
"This is a warzone – not an amusement park."
The situation brings to mind the movie War, Inc.. Here we find a hot sauce shooting John Cusack as a hit man posed trade show producer in the US outsourced military occupation of the fictional country Turaqistan. A theme remnant of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The climax surrounds Cusack's character (Hauser) confronting the Viceroy in a secret location hidden in a Popeyes restaurant. (Don't worry. I haven't given away the ending.)In reference to an additional change the Sgt. Maj. states they, "will also reduce the amount of canned and bottled goods coming into country." At least he didn't say, "Let them eat SPAM."
