Mahalo Chad and CB for drawing attention to a topic which is all too often overlooked. When individuals or groups make sincere efforts to protect the natural world, they should be thanked, recognized and supported. But if those efforts are undertaken because they are mandated by law, politically expedient or fit into a greater plan that prioritizes the "full spectrum dominance" of nature to advance national interests at the expense of others' human rights, security and a healthy environment, then they should be closely scrutinized. It's hard to swallow the good "green" narrative of the US military when its mission requires the forced destruction of biologically rich coastal and marine environments, the destruction of coral reefs, and the bulldozing of forests to build helipads in order to test and train for war. One only has to look at what the US military is doing at #Henoko and #Takae in Okinawa right now to see a callous disregard for the environment it says it cares about so much.
