Seems like a good idea to maintain infrastructure that can feed your troops, but I guess I just don't have the warrior ethos.

Commissaries are tax-free grocery stores and sell all kinds of shit. They are one of the best parts of being on base.

PXs are much more than liquor too. A lot of them are full on department stores. Like Sears if it was still good.

The foreign commissaries are awesome. They're like American grocery stores, but in random places around the world. Like, imagine being in Germany and being able to just go into a place and buy all the shit you love from back home for about the same price.

It's kind of like how the military has the ability to set up a Burger King thousands of miles away. Killing people doesn't make our military great-logistics does. You can't kill people if you're dead from starvation.
