Nice to see that the DoD is backing away from destroying the environment to focus only on destroying the inhabitants of it.

I think they see dependence on fossil fuels as a strategic liability (which it is).
The world will be much more peaceful when energy can be sourced locally and there is little motivation to go 'over there' to get the resources you need to have a society.
Yes. Even though the cynical take is easy, I don't think it's the right one. The U.S. military, despite its massive contribution to the problem, has been sounding the alarm bells about climate change for quite some time. Framing the conversation in terms of energy independence and strategic liabilities goes a long way towards convincing those outside of the terminally online bubble.
I used the destroyers to destroy the destroyers. It nearly killed me.
Depending on how much they spend doing it, destroying inhabitants can also pretty good for the environment 👀
It's a step in the right direction, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to vehicle emissions, PFAS in AFFF, burn pits, nuclear waste on the Marshall Islands...
