I must have slept through this line of committee questioning, from Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., last week:

Gen. David Petraeus did his best with an answer about insulating tents and temporary buildings. And yes, they even use some solar power. (h/t RedState.)

Was this when the General passed out?

Was this when the General passed out?

 

Yes. It was the result of the water conservation efforts he'd put into place.

Army, Marines Want Green Ammo … But Not Exactly

October 2008

 

By presidential executive order, the Defense Department is now required to buy “green” ammunition for use at training ranges. The environment-friendly rounds don’t leach toxins and are far less costly to clean up than conventional ammunition.

 

The Army and Marine Corps both are buying green ammunition. But they have pursued vastly different acquisition paths — proving how tough it can be for the services to buy common equipment.

 

If your shooting with the third one in line... better hope that the enemy is shooting back with same.
