Who is Abdul R. Rahman who invented the MRE? What is his ethnicity? Is he Muslim?

https://www.stripes.com/living/mres-it-could-be-worse-and-it-was-1.77097

The credit for delicacies such as fajitas and pasta making their way into U.S. military rations is largely owed to one man, combat feeding experts say: Abdul Rahman.


But Rahman’s nephew, Army Capt. Eric Rahman, 34, a signal officer and veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan, said that not all his uncle’s prototypes were home runs. Rahman grew up next door to his uncle in Natick, Mass., where the professor worked for the Defense Department’s Combat Feeding Program.

Doctor Abdul Rahman, a civilian scientist, was contracted by the military in 1975 to start the process of creating a better version of the LRP. In the course of his research, he managed to create a whole meal made up of dehydrated food. This food was held in a lightweight and highly portable pouch.

His efforts led to him being awarded the Meritorious Civilian Service Award by the military. The work he performed for the military served as the foundation for which the Meal Ready to Eat was created. Despite being effective, these meals still had some issues as they weren’t always palatable.

Bangladesh and Pakistan seem to be the most popular counties with this name. He was a food scientist, and most likely an immigrant. The Army has a record of being meritocratic and multi-ethnic, so it's no wonder an immigrant food scientist would have worked on this.

By that definition, a good chunk of our population have diverged from that. Shame, we’re becoming exceptionally selfish and trying to get government to cater exclusively to individual needs (tyranny of the minority and all that). Yes, it’s both sides, don’t be a bitch and say it’s only the boogeymen on the other side. That’s what you get when you move towards populist politics.

No because that harms kids and is disgusting and haram, we still have traditional marriage here in Albania so getting a virgin wife is no problem. But America now, you put your race first because that is what you do in a multiracial society, all races except Whites do because american Whites are deracinated and basically exist to prop up the welfare state

lmao, if you think women in mountainous villages remaining celebrate larping to take a "mans position" is the same as mutilating your body and putting kids on hormones there is a big difference. There are none left anymore, same as why we dont do honour killings. Any form of sodomy/lgbt is bad it does not matter where it is it must be destroyed.

Firstly, I actually think that burrnesha are pretty cool and /k/, since they get the right to bear arms and shoot shit. I mocked you on it to try to get you reconsider and chill out, but that didn't work, so I'll be more civil and give you a good faith reply.

The thing you're raging about doesn't exist the way you think it does. There's a cottage industry of media dedicated to convincing you that tranny surgeries and putting kids on hormones is far, far more common and accepted in the west than it really is. It exists purely for the purpose of making you angry and outraged.

IRL rate of tranny surgery is about 1 in 28,000 people (0.003%) in the US. If this sounds like a lot to you, consider that the rate of people born with more than 10 fingers or toes is between 4 and 12 per 10,000. You are between 122 and 366 times more like to meet someone who literally wasn't born with the right number of fingers and toes compared to someone who had tranny surgery in the last year. Accounting for tranny suicide rates, the number don't even significantly accrue in general society, so your odds of seeing a legit tranny stay dozens of times lower than people born with the wrong number of fingers or toes.

There are some serious problems relating to the stuff you're talking about that need to get sorted out (and, in due time will be through the legal system pinning the relatively small number of malpractitioners in question to the wall for ruining lives by pushing hormone stuff on kids), but it isn't the society wide problem you're led to believe, nor is it reflective of a wide and deep belief about gender or sex in western countries (like both extremist lefties and right wing outrage bait media want people to think).

Just chill out dude. You're tilting at windmills.

yes it is here in Ireland it's completely insane at least in the UK they are more careful with this shit and kids. The entire lobby industry for this horomone and genital mutilation crap should be in prision.

surely depends on what kind of america. if they're patriotic for america that's a shithole like north korea, it's pointless. so the idea of liberty must be tied to the idea of america. things like being able to own a gun and use it for self defense legally all while not being poor. also being able to afford toilets and washing machines. so russia renamed to america won't do.

Old world immigrants back then were treated the same as Hispanics now. There are less immigrants from Europe because the quality of life has changed enough to not warrant having dozens of ships filled with millions come to the us. The last wave of Europeans to come here are probably Ukrainians/Russians escaping the war.

This.

All Americans should believe in basic human rights, freedom of speech, government by the people and for the people, and the right to bear arms. They should not believe in communism or facism.

If they don't, they're not Americans and should be deported no matter what their ethnicity.
