The report lays out a road map for how the military will adapt to rising sea levels, more violent storms and widespread droughts. The Defense Department will begin by integrating plans for climate change risks across all of its operations, from war games and strategic defense planning situations to a rethinking of the movement of supplies.

The subversion of the military hierarchy is going well I see.
liberalism is an ideological cacncer that destroys everything it gets control of.
Whoever that is (Hagel) got his marching orders straight from the white house.
Load of crap.
This is the Don Quixote military.
A thousand bureaucrats typed for a thousand days to come up with the documentation for the military plan to combat global warming. This is not about the military as much as a make work project for Agenda 21 acolytes.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
I suspect this comes from the Pentagon’s political office staffed by Obamaites.
Oh, HELL, no, they’ll give him an OPR bullet and an MSM.
The Wooly Bear caterpillars around here have been almost pure black, too!

We can afford to send arms and foreign aid, but we somehow find it impractical to properly quarantine ebola and a new vaccine-immune strain of enterovirus. We’re full of politicians and appointees who bombard us with B.S. excuses and play us for fools.
I’d be okay with light snows here this winter.
