The only thing I haven't heard of people trying to trade is rifles. Basically, I think every soldier complains about the food. I know one guy who loves the steak and kidney meal your guys are issued- he used to swap our ham omlette for them in the first Gulf War! Another guy I know swapped american batteries for the coffee in the french ration packs while part of KFOR- better batteries for better coffee?
