One of my friends is a former Ranger. One day we were out at lunch time and he asked where I wanted to eat. I suggested fried chicken at a local place. He said "I don't eat chicken" like like that was normal for an American. I had grilled steaks for he and his wife just the week before so I knew he was not a vegetarian. I asked him about not eating chicken and he said that during a mission he had to eat a lot of raw birds. They could not start a fire or they would be discovered. He said that after a few raw birds he vowed to never eat fowl again. He went on to say he would eat just about anything if necessary, but he did not want to get to that stage ever again.
He would never leave the house without his knife & two full Bic Lighters. He never mentioned the mission or his Ranger days again.
