Field Rations

A couple of friends and I, where passing the time at work (smoke break)
just chatting, One an American, 1st gulf war vet, Myself ex-RAF early 60's to Late 70's, we ended up talking about field rations, what was your favourite, ect. When I was in we had Compo rations. If you where lucky now and again the tin of cigarettes, would come your way, My question is, are they still included in todays rations, or have the PC brigade decided that smoking is far more dangerous to your health than war.

ps. The Irish stew and rice pudding mixed together was not that bad,
done in the dark in the miiddle of the Brecon beacons.
