Quote:In all actuality, one of the biggest complaints from the military is the "need" to use "green" sources of energy.  I personally don't mind that all of base housing on a base in Hawaii has solar panels on the roof.  That's not really a bad thing other than the extra cost to put it in.

There is nothing wrong with that. I agree with you, and also support those kind of things. Where I draw the line is if the expenditures for those items takes away from necessary military equipment. I'm not going to leave a soldier without a gun just so his barrack can have solar panels.

 

There is certainly a happy medium somewhere, and if the military finds and utilizes it, more power to them.
