#3 Good for them, if only our senior leaders would get off general order #1 and let them have a beer.

#4 How lovely that the company wants to donate the beer to support the troops. It seems Canadians aren't as anti-military as their media so fondly portray them. beyond Rantburg's Canadian contingent, I mean. ;-)

#6 Ah, go tell the Iman that the Canadian government won't invest in fancy space age meal preps like the Yanks. This is just their breakfast 'cereal' shipped in liquid form.

#8 While I never had free beer (from a company)overseas, I do remember it being very cheap and very regulated. I bet if an American company suggested this the wonks in DC would decline because they want to "deglamorize" drinking.

#11 There were four Canadians in my Electronic Warfare Officer class at Mather AFB in 72. They were each given a monthly allotment of duty free liquor. First of each month they would drive over to San Francisco to pick up a case of "forty pounders" and it would become very foggy out the next Saturday night. The RCAF were good people then and their sons and daughters appear to be cut from the same cloth. To borrow a line from one of their recruiting posters of the day, "the blood runs true".
