SNIPPET from post no. 1:

"The nation loses both blood and treasure in its consumption of fuel and other resources, Mullen said. The department uses about 300,000 barrels of oil each day, and fossil fuels are the No. 1 import into Afghanistan, he said. The delivery of fuel and other petroleum products there provides an inviting target for insurgents who attack supply convoys, injuring and killing servicemembers, he noted."

[KingLudd]

The military has a “strategic imperative” to lead the nation in environmental conservation, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said here today...There is evidence around the world of the impact of climate change, such as melting polar ice caps which are “rerouting the geopolitical maps of the world,” Mullen said.

I joined the Navy in another lifetime. We in the lower pay grades used to complain about senior management for any number of reasons. I think we all still had confidence that the big boys would take us out and bring us home in one piece. At the very least, I never thought the Admirals were morons.

If Mullen really talks this way he sounds like an imbecile. Has he taken steps to replace every ordnace projectile with biodegradable water balloons?

Has he announced the plan to power our planes and ships with vinegar and baking soda so the environment will smile?

What an airhead!

[major-pelham]

Fire him. Now. OMG

Conservation efforts need to be thought out before troops deploy, Mullen said. “Energy security needs to be one of the first things we think about — before we deploy another soldier, before we build another ship or plane, and before we buy or fill another rucksack,” he said.

Wrong, Adm. Mullen - killing the enemy is the first thing that needs to be thought of. If I have to burn an extra 500, 5,000 or 500,000 gallons of fuel to kill every one of the damn3d enemy, then that’s what I’d do.

“Dying for my country isn’t heroic, getting your enemy to die for his is. As long as you win in the end”. (my contextualization of the George C Scott quote from “Patton” - I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor, dumb bastard die for his country. “
