I came across this post in the 2142 AAR section. This guy should be writing a book. Here's an excerpt, and a link at the bottom so you can read the rest. Even if you don't play 2142, this is a great read (and it seems like there are more coming!):
Blood and Honor, The Journal of a 9th MID Soldier
(Round 1 of the 9th MID vs. TAW BFCL League)
It was a cold morning…just like all the others I’ve experienced in this desolate hellhole. LuckyStrike’s skills might be superb with his weaponry, but he manages to screw up even the instant coffee from an MRE. I drank it anyway, savoring the flow of warmth as it coursed down my throat and doing my best to ignore the feeling that I was swallowing metal shavings at the same time. What does he put in this stuff?
