This is correct in a sense. While the US has a decent amount of stand out technology, comparably good training, comparably well equipped soldiers, etc. The true power of the US military is the world wide infrastructure it has developed to get whatever force needed, to where ever force is needed, within a few hours to 3 days. So, yeah, the US military being able to deploy fast food chain restaurants pretty much anywhere in the world, is a demonstration of it's reach and resources, if an unconventional one.
WWII had ice cream delivered to Allies on beachfronts. It was apparently very demoralizing to the Axis
It's one of my fav wwii stories, can't remember what rank the Japanese navy dude was but apparently the idea that Americans had an entire ship just for ice cream was a large factor in him calling to stand down
There was also a story of a German POW being served apple pie are being captured while not being served it by his own government for a while due to rationing.
Please tell me this is real
It's real. Here's a Burger King in Kandahar, Afghanistan. There was also a Pizza Hut and a Dairy Queen
100% real. We had a BK in iraq in 2003.
You should see what the brits bring, they had a whole ass bakery at camp leatherneck in Afghanistan.
Morale is extremely important for keeping soldiers in check.
Many militaries learned this the hard way in WW1, where conditions were so bad some countries had to order officers to shoot soldiers that were ignoring orders or even organizing revolutions.
Giving a soldier a little slice of home, sometimes literally with slices of cake and pie, keeps them in line way more effectively than pointing guns at their backs.
I ate off of one of those trucks while tdy in the middle east. They didn't serve any pork, so no bacon on any of the burgers. They still had some kind of option to replace it, and to this day I still don't know what the fuck I ate. Still better than MREs.

Subject #47, post ingestion of Substance-6∆V, exhibits a stable yet enigmatic state. Initial analysis suggests successful integration with the host's biology however we are witnessing cellular transformations at an highly unexpected rate. Notably, the subject developed █████, which shouldn't even be possible and frankly I'm concerned ██████████████████. Further monitoring is essential, especially after last week's █████ incident and ███████████. The potential implications are ██████████████.
Feels like something from the SCP Foundation.
Does it have a deep fryer that can flash fry a buffalo in 40 seconds?
Nah, only the Navy has those.

One of the best moments in Modern Warfare 2 (OG) is the defense of Burger Town. So we gave every base a Burger Town to defend!
RAMIREZ, DO EVERYTHING
Ah yes: “This war is sponsored by……”
