What did they eat in the war?

Please clarify which war you're referring to. The diet of soldiers and civilians during wartime can vary greatly depending on:

* The specific conflict: World War II rations were drastically different from those in the Vietnam War.

* The location: Food availability and cultural preferences influence what people eat.

* The time period: Food availability and distribution methods changed throughout history.

* The social status: Soldiers, civilians, and prisoners of war would have had different access to food.

Once you provide more context, I can give you a more specific answer.
