Consider reading on how the Bronze Age ended. That international economy was brought down by local instability that might have been kicked off by migrants from a minor climate event that sent economic effects cascading all over the known world, like dominoes.
The US military is nothing if not students of history, they believe the scientists, they can tell what's happening diplomatically - we're missing our emissions targets.
To me, it is ominous how seriously they are taking it.
And, not for nothing, but the US military facilitates huge amounts of climate research, on the poles and elsewhere. They're a big part of the reason we even know how much trouble we're in.
Ah yes, diversity, equity and inclusion, concepts obviously opposed to the principle of a peacekeeping mission. Remember that war is not the goal, but a tool for peace.
I'm just not with you here. The fact that DEI and climate change are part of policy for the US military reflects an awareness of the times, not a lack of it.
To believe otherwise is to stand firmly on the wrong side of history, in my eyes.
Sure, humanitarian missions. However, let's be clear: the DoD's reason for existing is warheads on foreheads. Don't make me get all "Patton" on you. :-)
