It's really incredible that even in a paper filled with statistics like this
The DOD is the single
largest consumer of energy in the US, and in fact, the world’s single largest institutional consumer of petroleum. Since 2001, the DOD has consistently consumed between 77 and
80 percent of all US government energy consumption.
The language surrounding the military is so fucking glowing. Clearly the imperialist brainrot runs deep. Its disgusting the way they deepthroat the boot here. Look at this little gem for example.
The US military is preparing for threats of attack from human adversaries including terrorists. The threats of terrorism and Russian, Iranian, Chinese or Korean aggression are all real, but terrorists and these countries are not certain to attack the US. Arms control and diplomacy can deescalate tensions and reduce threats. Economic sanctions can also diminish the capacity of states and non-state actors to threaten the security interests of the US and its allies.
They spend the whole paper outling the incredible levels of US military pollution, while simultaneously defending it with fantastical chauvinist arguments. A truly insane juxtaposition.
