I think you're serious!

The reason the US has military bases all over the world has absolutely nothing to do with the environment. The vast majority of these bases were set up long before environmentalism was even a concept.

The idea that the US military is some sort of environmental saviour is bizarre. Delusional. False to the real world!

In fact, the US military is one of the world's greatest polluters. It might well be the largest single polluter in the entire world on its own - but it keeps all the details entirely secret.

In my lifetime alone, the US has pissed away over $20 trillion dollars - that's $20 million million dollars - on pointless foreign wars, while ravaging the environment wherever it went.

What does the US have to show for that $20 trillion? Only bad things.

A society in collapse. The most expensive medical system in the world, with some of the worst outcomes in the developed world. Crumbling bridges, power and water systems, roads and other infrastructure. Young people in debt for decades for education.

The organization needs to be completely torn down. The idea that society should take a tip from these polluting murderers who have lost every single war they have engaged in for decades now is ridiculous and offensive.
