Keeping a boot on the neck of most of the planet is thirsty work.
If the US military were a country, its fuel usage alone would make it the 47th largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, sitting between Peru and Portugal.
Fuel usage alone… Not too mention the high electricity use for AC and other equipment.
In 2017, the US military bought about 269,230 barrels of oil a day and emitted more than 25,000 kilotons of carbon dioxide by burning those fuels. The US Air Force purchased $4.9 billion worth of fuel, and the Navy $2.8 billion, followed by the Army at $947 million and the Marines at $36 million.
It seems to be growing every year… What would it honestly take to get enough people to take action against the military industrial complex? Is there even a way?
