I agree with your point, the only addition is that I think it might make it harder to field a volunteer force. Although ending up in Europe was just dumb luck for me, who knew that the Navy rewarded screw ups with duty stations in countries I'd pay to take a vacation in. Can't make it as a nuke? We're either sending you to Bermuda, Italy, or Greece. Wow, thanks!!!!

There used to be two jobs in the Army that didn't require a security clearance. Those that couldn't qualify for one (or lost it later on) would find themselves reclassified to one of these two jobs.
"Mess Hall Cook" which obviously sucked but there was also "Recreation Center Specialist", that's the guy who passes out basket balls, skis and other recreational equipment. Sounds boring? Maybe but they would be stationed at a military recreational resort in one of the following places: Shades of Green located in Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida Edelweiss Lodge and Resort in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany Dragon Hill Lodge in Seoul, Korea; Hale Koa Hotel in Fort DeRussy, Hawaii New Sanno Hotel in Tokyo, Japan. Such a horrible choice to make eh?

Well, the thing is, your Pres has repeatedly said he doesn't believe in scientists telling him that climate change is man made and real.
Fox News is a bastion of CC deniers. That "opinionist" wrote: "I’m old school. Back when I was growing up we did not have climate change or global warming. We had something called weather. Hot in the summer, cold in the winter. It’s an inconvenient truth, but it needed to be said". It is one of the many unhinged arguements that have been in the standard arsenal of arguements from CC deniers. I don't see this opinionist being much different from the regular, ill informed CC denier. |

Thing is the earths climate is always changing. It changed before man climbed down from the trees and it'll keep changing long after we're gone. Is it really Climate Change Denial when one agrees that the climate is indeed changing but isn't sure what percentage of it is caused by humans? I've seen too many expensive government boondoggles in my short life to just blindly support things like carbon taxes and emissions agreements negotiated by jet setting elites who by their wealth and power are immune to the consequences and in many cases stand to profit by them. So if I have to be either totally supportive of the Green agenda or totally against it, with no room for degrees of opinions in between then i'll have to stand against it.

About 'some controversial tweets': "Clean, beautiful and healthy air" - let's fire up the coal industry people! More: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...nge-chinese-h/ Quote:
Also, nice double standards, as usual: "Don't call us deniers, you believers!!" Quote:
Yes, because everyone who ""believes"" in climate change wants to destroy the lives of those that don't. As your brother in mind said: "Nailed it!". Quote:

I think Trump nailed it when he said, "No" to the world:
