Also worth pointing out that every single thing our Army has is far less efficient than any civilian equivalent because ruggedness and redundancy are overwhelming concerns. So your typical Army diesel engine is not nearly as clean as the latest Cummins or Volvo road diesel.
Or if you want to talk about jet engines, incredibly efficient high-bypass civilian turbofans like the Trent 1000 are great and all, but they don't have the kind of on-demand thrust you need for a fighter jet. Not to mention that supersonic flight itself is comically inefficient, since the air itself is devouring a significant portion of the energy the engine is putting out in order to sustain a shock wave. Of course, do you really need an F-35 to shoot illiterate goat farmers?

Then add on mission creep.
Back in the day, when we got the Humvee, it was roomy as fuck compared to a CUC-V Blazer.
Apparently now you can barely move around in them because so much bullshit has been added inside.
That's not even getting into the sheer electrical power requirements on military vehicles, which means running the engine harder for the alternator to keep up.
But no, they're going to be "climate friendly military vehicles" because...
Well, DU, lead, brass, and all the other shit put out in a war is climate friendly and eco-friendly.
Why, all that DU 30mm fired by the Apaches is surely great for the environment! Why, I hear it even purifies water, cures blindness, and totally won't turn you into a fucking mutant.
Fucking Democrats and Leftists.

On top of all that:
- You need charging infrastructure to keep all those vehicles running
- You need a power source for said charging stations (nuclear would be the only remotely feasible way to do that. But that makes creepy Swedish cabbage patch kids pout, so it's a no-no)
- You need to tear up Gaia like a motherfucker just to get the rare earth elements for batteries and electronics
- Most of those raw materials and electronics will be purchased from China (as much of our materiel already is)

I will never understand how the Green cult managed to worm its way into leftist thinking.
Like, I can trace a straight line from the hippie thinking of the 60-70s to the environmentalism of the 80-90s, but the leap from THAT to straight up worshipping the magic EV and disregarding everything else that isn't carbon emissions is horrifying. Nobody actually gives a fuck to actual issues that could be solved, and on aggregate much more serious, like the continued poisoning of heavy metals and plastics of our oceans.

If you haven't served in the military you should not be able to be president. I will die on that hill.

Biden job approval second lowest among presidents since 1950s: Gallup
President Biden’s approval numbers remain stuck at near-record lows as he faces a series of setbacks, according to a new poll.The latest Gallup survey released Friday finds that roughly 41 percent of U.S. adults approve of the job Biden is doing just over a year into office, about the same as previous surveys showing him underwater among the public.
Fifty-six percent of those surveyed in the latest poll disapprove of Biden’s job performance as president. That’s a near reversal from his approval numbers when he entered office, when 57 percent of adults surveyed said they approved of the way he was handling his job.
Gallup noted that Biden’s average approval rating for this point in his term is lower than all other predecessors going back to the 1950s, with the exception of former President Trump, who had a 39.1 percent favorability during the same period in his term.
Several post-World War II presidents in their first term even had fifth-quarter averages above 50 percent, with three — John F. Kennedy, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush — above 70 percent, according to Gallup’s data.
Biden’s approval numbers have steadily fallen since he took office in January 2021, and the latest survey tracks with other recent polls, including a Politico-Morning Consult poll from last month that found Biden’s approval at about 45 percent.
Biden’s upside-down job approval rating could ultimately impact this year’s midterm elections, with Democrats defending slim majorities in the House and Senate.
“While it is possible that Biden’s job approval could increase between now and the fall elections, doing so would go against the historical pattern for second-year presidents,” Gallup’s analysts report.
“The prospects for significant improvement in Biden’s job approval ratings before the fall midterms seem dim not only because of the historical record for second-year presidents, but because his approval ratings have been stuck in the low 40s for eight months.”
Biden has faced a series of major challenges since taking office, including the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, rising consumer prices for food and gas, surges in cases amid the COVID-19 pandemic and an influx of migrants attempting to cross the nation’s southern border.
The president has set out on an aggressive travel schedule in recent days to tout achievements from his time in office, including a crucial $1.2 trillion infrastructure spending plan that passed Congress with bipartisan support last year.

That looks like either a costume party or one of those events where everyone acts stupid.
Sadly, he's dressed better and more modestly than most of our AGP cows.

I never bought him as real. Something about being a cripple, but standing up to show how manly he is at the RNC, seemed very pandering to people who didn't fall for Crenshaw's version of the same act. Then he says "the Republicans are telling me to show up to sex parties!" but he won't name names. Now he's at a weird party himself.
As usual with the GOP there's too much bullshit theater to make sense of it so I'll go with "controlled op" and wait for him to endorse transgenderism.

Thinking about it again I think I exaggerated in my head how this would come off. He might be able to brush it off but I think that depends at least somewhat on how media decides to treat this story. Anyways, here's Madison's response:

Plus, the left frothing at the mouth over what's obviously a goofball party when they show pics of them sucking dick on their own timelines, and calling Pelosi a "teetotaller" (IT's TEAtotaller, you fucking inbred faggot journo) just shows that if it wasn't for hypocrisy they wouldn't be able to speak.
