A Republican congressman who received high volumes of donations from oil and gas industry slipped some wording into a military spending bill that (supposedly) restricts military from responding to common sense protections for our troops. Basically, this has the effect of threatening the military’s ability to do its job.
- Higher temperatures are leading to overheating of human bodies and equipment, threatening effectiveness.
- Bases are flooding due to sea level rise, costing billions in repairs to infrastructure, which lowers response capabilities.
- Droughts across regions limits accessibility to water, threatening entire formations and strategies.
Really shitty how easy it is for politicians to be bought by their donors.
