I will tell you this, there are only two things I can think of that boost morale in a combat zone(I was in Ramadi in 2005) and that's eating at a good chow hall and mail call. That's it. Killing a bastard that definitely needed it is good, but nothing like chow and mail.
I guarantee I needed some extra fat when I was there. Lost over 30lbs.
