Often more like a tax-free cost-plus-5% grocery store that sells some of everything (including cat food), but yeah: Still troops, and some of that stuff might become dinner.
"some of that stuff might become dinner" is splitting hairs, I feel.
Why? Because disruptions along the supply line are disruptions along the supply line. If a deep Russian ammo depot had a sudden smoking accident, you would (rightly) think it absurd for a Russian mil-blogger to quip that "technically we didn't lose ammo, the fuses are put in right before firing, we lost stuff that might become ammo." Seems less convincing now, right?
Maybe tonight's meal isn't disrupted, but the weekly meal planning is certainly disrupted. I hate to say it, but if the intent was an opportunistic hit to troop morale before a CVE got burned anyway, I'd say mission accomplished. :(
If this does turn out to be an attack, it's from decades of higher-ups ignoring cybersecurity coming home to roost.

Fair points.
