Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
You will get modern comforts, just issued to you by the Military
I remember your country once had an ice cream machine for the troops in the Pacific front.

If that's one of the many possible comforts to happen your buddies will be more motivated than the opposing side if their rations suck.

Remember the story of the WWII German general who lost hope when he discovered that the American military had the logistical capability to ship fresh-baked chocolate cake to its front-line soldiers in France post-Normandy?
I didn't. I only know the GIs had all of everything that their allies and enemies would envy. Better pay that British women would flock to them in droves when stationed in the UK before operation overlord and got chocolate bars as part of their rations.

We generally get paid the least out of our major allies, but we generally have better training and equipment

That's now from your view but back then with currency shit and the war, they got more pay than British soldiers.

This was well beyond a MOAB. The yield of this blast was like 1.8 kilotons. It completely flattened everything in the port and left a huge crater.

Doing research, a MOAB is roughly 11 tons of TNT explosive power. This is comparable to the Halifax and the Texas city disasters. it is still lower then the Halifax, and is roughly equal with he texas city one. Lets put it this way, conventional explosive testing the US did to make them comparable ion firepower to a small nuke, was around 4 thousand tons of Ammonium Nitrate, where this was 2750. Think of that

Ah I love the smell of missile spam in the morning

Albeit that we added diesel fuel to said Ammonium Nitrate which made it much more potent
