EXCERPTS only in order to comply with this court order.
Environmental groups on Monday sued the U.S. Navy, claiming it has failed to perform mandatory environmental reviews of its sonar tests in coastal waters, despite evidence that such intense noise can harm whales, dolphins and other protected sea creatures.
The Natural Resources Defense Council, the Humane Society and Defenders of Wildlife have grown increasingly alarmed since the Navy acknowledged that one type of sonar was "highly likely" to be connected to a mass stranding of beaked whales in the Bahamas last year.

Too many judges are impeding our defense system, which isn't something that liberal judges are likely to know much about.
Not that a lack of knowledge or expertise has ever interfered with a liberal's course of action or way of thinking.
Does Osama have submarines? NO.
Do any Islamic nations have submarines? NO.
Do the Russians (supposedly our friends now) and Chinese (supposedly an economic ally) have submarines? YES.
Does the Colombian cartel have submarines? YES. One already confiscated.
This sonar is fatal to marine mammals. Stop testing it now. Stop using it NOW.
And you, Trailer Trash, your logon says it all! Trailer Trash vs. survival of marine mammals .... Flipper and Shamu win out over you.
Enemy submarines are fatal to our ships & boats. You are mentally sick to equate a so-called "marine mammal" with our sailors & merchant mariners.
One other thing: not using this sonar could lead to the torpedoing of our amphibious assault ships, which would cause the death of Marine Corps mammals. They're infinitely more important than your blubbery whales.

Repeat for the hard of reading:
Does Osama have submarines? NO.
Do any Islamic nations have submarines? NO.
Do the Russians (supposedly our friends now) and Chinese (supposedly an economic ally) have submarines? YES.
Does the Colombian cartel have submarines? YES. One already confiscated.
What enemy are you referring to? The ones in whose countries (Russia and China) we are investing billions upon billions of dollars?
You are mentally sick to equate a so-called "marine mammal" with our sailors & merchant mariners.
And you are an idiot and a dinosaur for thinking that "me first and nothing else" is going to work forever on this planet.
One other thing: not using this sonar could lead to the torpedoing of our amphibious assault ships,
By whom? The only countries with this capability are supposedly our friends, in whom we are investing billions upon billions of dollars.
which would cause the death of Marine Corps mammals.
That's part of the risk of that job. You don't want to risk dying? Don't sign up for the USMC, or any other service for that matter ... well, maybe the Air Farce would be OK.
They're infinitely more important than your blubbery whales.
Let me think ... a world populated by selfish, short-sighted nimrodian dinosaurs like yourself who believe in "me first and nothing else" ... or a world with Shamu.
Oh my. Shamu wins out again.
