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.

TOTAL INSANITY!!!

We’re doomed.

I was going to say that this is ridiculous, but so many have already said it. Can’t wait to get rid of these idiots.

Liberalism is a mental disease.

[Tax-chick]

Six of one, half a dozen of the other. They’re both idiots.

[Tucker39]

Isn’t that swell? Heathens at the gates, threatening to overrun us, and the Pentagon leadership are playing “pocket pool” with themselves.

[AU72]

11.5 months. Plan and file then bury.

[HarleyLady27]

You are so correct!!!

Key phrase here is “ another layer of bureaucracy”.

I Think it’s a great idea.....instead of thousands of conventional “dirty” bombs, all that dust and smoke, use just 1 nuke, it lasts for a few minutes, then it’s all over.

Is “raining bombs” climate oe weather?
