Joint military exercise

On a joint military exercise an English soldier, an American soldier, and a Russian soldier found themselves sharing a tent while on a military exercise and the conversation turned towards how well fed each of them was.

'In the Russian army we get 2000 calories of food a day' said the Russian.

'Well,' said the Englishman, 'in the British army we are given 4000 calories of food a day.'

'That's nothing,' said the American, 'in the US army we get 8000 calories of food a day.'

At this the Russian got very annoyed. 'Nonsense,' he said, 'how could one man eat so much cabbage?'
