My mother would have pulled switches from those precious trees and marched on the senate, God rest her soul. As she said to us kids many, many years ago, I'm going to beat some sense into you. And she did.

Your Mom was absolutely right - good old common sense is what's needed here. I respect our environment, but if our military can't train to be the best they can be, where does that get us. It leaves America very vulnerable. When America is hit by a nuclear attack, what will the environmentalists have to say, if they are still alive. These people have no common sense - they don't have any sense at all and they must be stopped.
