Why aren't there any vegan options in the military besides a salad? I wish there was a way to improve this. I find myself having to settle on vegetarianism when serving.

I have the same position as you on this issue, we should go to the regulators of this issue to generate a change in the army and start offering a more nutritious vegetarian option.

It's hard to get special dietary requirements met, I have severe allergies to a few ingredients and there aren't a lot of alternatives available.

I don't even know what vegetarians/vegans would eat if salads were ruled out, I mean... maybe I'm missing something. The military isn't big on special requests like tofu or seitan.

1.) Get a salad; 2.) put the different vegetables in piles on your plate; 3.) enjoy your custom 3-course (or however-many-course) meal! It's a great tip I learned while overseas. LOL
