Army could phase out fossil fuels to attract ecofriendly recruits, senior general says
September 13, 2019

By Paul Homewood

 
The Army could phase out petrol and diesel vehicles in a bid to attract ecofriendly recruits, the Chief of the General Staff has said.

Gen Sir Mark Carleton-Smith said today’s military equipment would probably be the last to be “dependent on fossil fuel engines”, and that a move toward clean energy would be beneficial logistically and put the military “on the right side of the environmental argument”.

Speaking at a defence and security event in London, he said: “The Army is leading defence on sustainable energy solutions, both at home and when deployed overseas. We may be at the inflection point of how we power our next generation of vehicles. Our current equipment programme is possibly the last to be dependent on fossil fuel.”

If saving the earth is consistent with the army's core mission of bombing the heck out of it,  they I'm all for it.

This is why we will always need a Marine Corps.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

This appears to be the original article/source, https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/09/13/army-could-phase-fossil-fuels-attract-ecofriendly-recruits-senior/ . And this is the UK's army, not the US Army.

IKR? How many Brit yoots think to themselves, "I'd love to join the army, but they use petroleum fuels"?

"Army could phase out fossil fuels to attract ecofriendly recruits, senior general says"

I think it's time they "phased out" this "senior general".
Take your retirement, sir.
