War Games

[Steve Stuck]

The NY Times just recently published an article about how climate change is now a national security threat. The Times even showed how the US needs to start "War Game" potential situations where US troops maybe needed for humanitarian relief or simmer down some potential conflicts "if" sea levels rise and/or massive droughts/flooding forcing millions to displaced because of global warming.

For one, I do not believe man is causing the earth to melt nor do I believe one man/government body can do anything to change weather patterns. This godlike self annointment from the environmental groups are now leaking into military strategy. It also exposes the double take on what people will do when their cause needs to be instituted.

Remember not to long ago we had a President who took our military into Afghanistan/Iraq. What was the constant drumbeat of those who did not want us in there? We invaded a country and are occupiers illegally there. Remember all the protests of military force being used and all the parades against war? "Bush Lied Troops Died"...........Now with a new adminstration and Democrats in control of the Congress/Senate, we are now preparing our troops to go in to supress violence and use humanitarian aid if we ever have a "Global Warming" catastrophe. The hypocrisy is so overwhelming.

Whenever you deploy military around the world you put them in harms way. Even if that cause is humanitarian purposes. Say the world does start seeing massive drought and flooding, why do these people think that our military can be used to stop violence/deliver aid when they preached the total opposite just 5 years ago? Would we not become occupiers and fighting an unjust war if we picked sides of some countries getting out of control? How much would the environmentalists and Democrats in Congress/Senate be prepared for collaterel duties, wait, innocent civilians in the name of saving the Earth? Why not just protect our own country first?

You can always look at a war and have debates on whether or not we should have done it. What I am most sick of, is the same people so against military involvement after 9/11 do a 180 degree turn about military force. The NY Times repeatedly blasted not only policy under the last administration, but made very serious negative comments about our military. But now since we have new leadership that fits their agenda, the military is cool and must be used.

Not once in this article is the NY Times even critical about the use of military force and the protestors of years past are eerily silent.
