The Pentagon is ordering the top brass to incorporate climate change into virtually everything they do, from testing weapons to training troops to war planning to joint exercises with allies. A new directive’s theme: The U.S. Armed Forces must show “resilience” and beat back the threat based on “actionable science.” It says the military will not be able to maintain effectiveness unless the directive is followed. It orders the establishment of a new layer of bureaucracy — a wide array of “climate change boards, councils and working groups” to infuse climate change into “programs, plans and policies.” The Pentagon defines

Insanity by anti-Free-Americans at every level. Fools.

[Gritty]

I guess the only war worth fighting or winning any more is the one against Climate Change?

Idiots.

[fhayek]

Muslim outreach first, then climate change, then homosexual reorientation. What else is a military for?

[LambSlave]

Above or below Muslim outreach?

That's NASA. In the Army, it's (1) Diversity/EEO (2) Sexual Harassment Awareness (3) Suicide Awareness and (4) Climate Change

If George Washington had to factor in the weather factor, he never would have crossed the Delaware River and we’d still be English subjects.

Just another way the enemy-infiltrator- in- chief can weaken America’s defenses even further.

How anyone can avoid leaning toward Putin's side through all this stuff I have no idea.

Well, at the very least someone should post that short video of Putin laughing.

The amount of target practice a rifle company will get will depend on their carbon footprint.

Don’t we have any Generals or Admirals that can see what this clown is doing to our country?

[Irish Eyes]

Insanity rules in this administration. Do we have a countdown clock here to mark obama’s last days?

What !?!?

what new kind of crazy is this!?!?

What the heck does a military operation have to do with a bunch of tree huggers making up data?

[HerrBlucher]

Make America less embarrassing again.

As the pope and the UN say:

Environmental Justice

And what can they do? A coup?

MORE BULL CRAP FOR PRESIDENT CRUZ OR PRESIDENT TRUMP TO UNDO IN 2017.

When America soundly loses the next war — and we will — we will deserve it.

The Air Force should be given 5 years to convert to hydrocarbon free flight

That's very doable! All the AF needs do is to shift over to fleets of dirigibles. But unlike the dirigibles of old, these new, modern "green" dirigibles must not have any engines. So once launched, they'll just float around. Given enough time, they'll eventually get over target.

By the way, if you get the SecDef appointment, I'll settle for Secretary of the Air Force.

Obama could be crucifying Christians on the WH lawn and they wouldn’t intervene. Besides, they’re all his people now.
