Useless bits: I always think of MREs as the pull-tab self-heating things, while RTEs have a wider definition (anything that doen't require prep and can be eaten on the go). I suspect it may depend on who you learned the term from, and what branch/period of service.... some refused to use the word "meals" in conjunction with the things they were eating. *g*
