Pentagon Revealed as Eco-Freak Hotbed

All it takes it a splashy New York Times feature and several dozen torched tankers in Pakistan, and suddenly the national press wants to talk about the military’s attempts to go green. It’s a subject we’ve been covering since the first days of this blog.

But all that time, we figured the Pentagon’s intermittent interest in energy efficiency came from a desire to save money, reduce its logistical burden, and cut back on its reliance on some rather unsavory countries. Leave it to The Daily Show to set us straight. The U.S. military is actually a bunch of secret socialist eco-wackos, operating straight out of the Al Gore / Saul Alinsky field manual. Bob Gates, you smelly hippie. You had us fooled all along.
