A dangerously distracted Pentagon
Thomas Spoehr, Opinion Contributor - Oct 13, 2021

The first plan produced by President Biden's Pentagon isn't a blueprint for how to respond to an emboldened China. Nor does it address how to prevent Afghanistan from reverting to a breeding ground for terrorists.

No, the first plan produced by this administration's Defense Department is a "Climate Adaptation Plan," which purports to "take bold steps to accelerate adaptation to reduce the adverse impacts of climate change."

Signed by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and released on Oct. 7, the 32-page plan identifies myriad tasks the Pentagon will undertake to "enhance resilience to the effects of climate change" and "reduce greenhouse gas emissions."

Declaring climate change to be a "critical national security issue," the plan calls for climate change considerations and impacts to be "included in all relevant and applicable DOD decisions."

At 22 years, Prince Alexander of Macedon, although outnumbered 5 to 1, confronted the Persians
under Darius at Gaugamela in 331 BC, where he crushed them in half a day, destroying their Empire.
He continued eastward into Bactria (now Afghanistan) where he battled the mountain tribesmen for
multiple months finally ending in a stand-off and then returned to Greece.
What is stunning is that Alexander failed to approach the Bactrian Tribesmen w/a blueprint to
prevent the Bactrians from creating a breeding ground for terrorists. What was he thinking???
This brings to mind Biden's Climate Adaption Plan to reduce the adverse impact of climate change,
now an integral component of our South Asian Military Strategy.
For sure, we are now in extremely good hands w/a vibrant strategy to anchor us!!!

Did they at least loop in the Army Corps of Engineers and the Navy Seabees?

Between the Pentagon's obsession with climate and the so-called transgendered, we really don't stand a chance.
