Probably be a good idea. Be great for the rest of us, too. Pop some after a meal when you can't brush.

This sounds like a great premise for a product, albiet for use in the field (combat, obviously)--not garrison duty.

I was in Army before and I remember brushing my teeth when I woke up in the middle of nowhere at 4 in the morning using water from my canteen. It sucked.
