I manufacture Javelin Missile Systems for the military, for example, - in my upstream carbon calculation - do I estimate and include the emissions produced by the tank crew, tank fuel, tank munitions and ect. - the weapon is design for blowing up?
The military (worldwide and here) is a huge waste of fuel, energy and human effort. A huge polluter of our world, here and abroad. A huge contributor to global warming. The US budget has been historically ~half to the MIC in final analysis. That is mostly waste and harmful destruction. The US military has NEVER been held accountable for things like carbon footprint. We'd all be driving yugo and horse buggy to equate that away. Your tax dollars at counterproductive work
This woke admin. is doing a great job indoctrinating the troops with inclusion, CRT, vaccine mandates, etc. led by silly Milley and his cadre of snowflakes. At the rate the Libs. are attempting to transform this country, the military will cease to be a force of consequence.

LOL Silly Child, you forgot to add cows and the Sun's contribution to the "global warming scare" started by the enemies of our Capitalistic country decades ago!*** Today, it continues to affect the brainwashed, ignorant, snowflakes such as you and your ilk. *** Sixty years ago, after the nature show on TV was ending, I'd hear: "If all of us don't stop breathing, the Artic Wolf will become extinct." Wow, as a twelve year old I'd think: "Gee, several hundred years from now (long after I'll be dead) the Artic Wolf could POSSIBLY become extinct." "Ham," grow up, get truly educated, and get a life!
You have to recognize the root of comments like Meat's.... This is a young generation that has never even remotely considered doing without or having to put others needs ahead of their own. They relax in their mothers warm dry basements dreaming up reasons to loathe previous generations sacrifices so that they could live comfortably..... These are the very same people that grouse about capitalism from their warm cozy surroundings that were all afforded them by capitalism. And the very same that will disparage you and I for being complacent with the "earth" as long as it doesn't interfere with their enjoyment of the same..... Hypocrites do not recognize their own hypocrisy until it slaps them in the face... And that day will come... Likely in the form of Chinese soldiers I am afraid.
It will not be soldiers form any country. It will come from soldiers within America taking orders from our enemies within. War is in our future and America will not survive. Think about this. There are so many sleeper cells in this country RIGHT NOW that when the shit hits the fan it will be total devastation practically immediately. There is absolutely no way we survive. How many dirty nukes are hidden in this country right now? We gave our country away long, long ago. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to gun down some bad folks roaming the streets while the fallout is killing me.
You have irrational fears. You will never see Chinese nor any other soldiers boots invading. Have you looked at a map?
That’s the same sentiment imbeciles like yourself said about the Japanese pre WWII. How did that work out on 12-07–1941? Have you looked at a map or know how much land China owns (and are currently purchasing) in the continental US?
Really? The Chinese are establishing sites in the US to monitor potentially dissident Chinese residents living in the US with the obvious approval of the current admin which completes the circuit of Chinese sleeper cells within the US??? I suppose the next coup is for the Chinese to lease the White House's Lincoln Bedroom and why not, because for the right price... https://nypost.com/2022/09/30/china...nd-canada-to-monitor-chinese-citizens-report/ Wake up @freshmeat, get out of your parents basement and tune in to the real world.
I just let his post speak for itself.... Previous generations saved Private Ryan... This generation watches Private Ryan.... Could you even remotely imagine this person standing post in an unfriendly zone?
No because snowflakes are afraid of any weapon, defy authority and refuse to leave their parent's basements.
At some point, reason and Logic has to prevail. Any thinking Human knows that the Carbon Emissions crisis can not and will not be arrested until we kill every cow on the planet. We don't have the Will to do it, that is the problem. The youth of today better put some big boy pants on, and get ready for the eventual Cow Kill War. This is EXACTLY why we need the Armed Forces. This has been a Charley Talk. YW.
LOL. What I have found over the decades is that the real men who ACTUALLY HAVE more ammo, the largest calibers, and more firearms, NEVER DISCLOSE THAT FACT. Additionally, virtually none of them went to any Ivy School. LOL, most braggarts like you are terrible shots!
