Die 22 Mann starke Küchencrew muss im Schichtdienst täglich drei Mahlzeiten, davon zwei warme, für die fast 500 Soldaten des PRT zubereiten. Zweimal warmes Essen erscheint dabei vielleicht zunächst ungewöhnlich, doch viele Soldaten können nicht immer an den zeitlich festgelegten Mahlzeiten teilnehmen. Insgesamt ist Abwechslungsreichtum sehr wichtig, um auch Qualitätsansprüchen wie in Deutschland genügen zu können. Denn eine gute Verpflegung ist für die Moral der Truppe unverzichtbar.

A U.S. soldier of B Company, 4th Infantry Regiment patrol near Baylough forward operating base in Zabul province, southeastern Afghanistan, Sunday, April 1, 2007. Almost daily, soldiers trudge out of a wind-swept Forward Operating Base Baylough on grueling, high altitude operations to hold the 120 square-kilometer (46-square-mile) bowl, destroy or disrupt the Taliban elsewhere and engage in a tug-of-war with the insurgents for the hearts and minds of villagers who have yet to see any real benefits come their way from the Kabul government.

This image taken from Alpha TV via AP Television News Friday April 6, 2007 shows the bow of the Greek cruise ship 'Sea Diamond' listing heavily off the island of Santorini, Greece. The Greek cruise ship 'Sea Diamond' sank off the Greek holiday island of Santorini Friday, after the vessel struck rocks and nearly 1,600 people on board had to be rescued. The Sea Diamond sank shortly before 7 a.m. (0400GMT), 15 hours after the accident occurred and the ship began listing and taking on water. Authorities said two French passengers _ a 45 year-old man and his 16-year-old daughter _ had still not been accounted for, and lists of rescued passengers were being rechecked

A coast guard vessel patrols around the Greek-flagged cruise ship Sea Diamond sank as life boats and vests are seen at the Aegean island of Santorini, Greece, early Friday, April 6, 2007. Hundreds of vacationers, including dozens of students from the U.S. and Canada, were evacuated in a massive rescue effort from a Greek cruise ship after it struck rocks off the island of Santorini and began taking on water. The nearly 1,600 passengers and crew members climbed one-by-one down rope ladders to rescue vessels on Thursday, or crossed narrow gangways to board other ships

[saigonsmuggler]

I thought modern ships have complete compartmentalization and ballasts of the hull to prevent sinking like this?

The hull must have been ripped pretty badly.

[flanker7]

It is said, in the news, that there was a 20m breach of the hull

[saigonsmuggler]

how long was the breach in the Titanic?

Edit: the Titanic's breach was 90m long.

Maybe the showing of mental strength and self-confidence?
But in general I do agree with you. Members of not only irregular forces but also regular armies from Southwest Asia to Far East apparently like to play a lot with fire and explosives to demonstrate how tough they are. Or they drive a motorcycle with ten other fellas on it, or even better, those guys are also very often keen on eating snakes and raw rabbits...
