Obama To Cadets: You will be fighting Climate Change...

[jon_berzerk]

Really?

Obama:..."Keep in mind, not all international norms relate directly to armed conflict. In the face of cyber-attacks, we are working to shape and enforce rules of the road to secure our networks and citizens. In the Asia Pacific, we are supporting Southeast Asian nations as they negotiate a code of conduct with China on the South China Sea, and are working to resolve territorial and maritime disputes through international law. That spirit of cooperation must energize the global effort to combat climate change – a creeping national security crisis that will help shape your time in uniform, as we’re called on to respond to refugee flows, natural disasters, and conflicts over water and food. That’s why, next year, I intend to make sure America is out front in a global framework to preserve our planet..."

How does he intend on doing this? Arming them with WHAT?

Ideas? Anyone?

President Obama was welcomed by the Black Knight of the Hudson for his speech at West Point on Wednesday, but less than 25 percent of the cadets gave him a standing ovation upon his introduction, the Daily Mail reported.

“Receiving tepid applause and a short standing ovation from less than one-quarter of the audience upon his introduction, Obama argued for a contradictory foreign policy that relies on NATO and the United Nations while insisting that ‘America must always lead on the world stage,’ the paper reported.

Your kind of unaware of American history..but the military in this country has been involved in a lot more then just killing people.

And yeah..they will be fighting global warming..or the effects of it.

They already are doing that.

oh.....SHUT UP...
You know nothing of the military.
Just hole up in your little sheltered world and wring your hands over the size of sodas and whether or not the Bridge and Tunnel Crowd will come and screw up the next trendy tea room or coffee house.
The purpose of a strong military is to keep the peace and to guard against aggressors. They do that by making sure that any enemy knows that the military is ready to blow shit up and kill people.

No they aren't.

These boys are trained warriors! Patton and MacArthur are spinning in their graves. When will this national nightmare be over? Liberals have no business running the military.

yes they should be killing and not help saving people from floods, or hurricanes.
I tell you the nerve of Obama wanting to save people.

Shut it....The things you mention are the duty of National Guard troops. Not regular commissioned soldiers
BTW, the Nat'l Guard of each state is under the jurisdiction of each respective state governor.
They are the ones that stack the sand bags, fly the helicopters to put our wild fires and rescue people from flooded regions.

 

[thereisnospoon]

What a fucking jackass.

yes you are, but you should try to talk about the topic as well.

I guess you are one of those blood thirsty Americans.Always wanting to kill people with our military.

Talk about the topic?
Your last post makes no sense.
"Always wanting to kill people with our military"....Says who? You? Oh yes. You are indeed a credible source.....

That's not entirely true. Both the Coast Guard, PHS and NOAA have commissioned officers and are on the forefront of weather prediction and disaster relief. And active troops do get involved with disaster relief. Remember when the 82nd Airborne went into New Orleans and the Navy sent a bunch of ships to support those efforts (and the whole operation was put under a CG three star and the Army three star was pissed over having to report to a mere Coastie).

Roosevelt was a liberal, and commander in chief. Guess which side won WW2. Wilson was a democrat and a liberal, he was commander in chief in WW1. Guess who won that war. The two major wars of the last century won by liberals. Any more beliefs you have, post them. They are usually easy to disprove.

It is possible to support our military and fight the Greenhouse Effect at the same time:

Pee balls is my weird stalker. He follows me around spouting about how he wishes I would die. Aside from that, he seldom makes any sense at all.

 

[ScienceRocks]

This is some crazy shit.

 

[Mr. H.]

sure if you think like a retard thats what they are doing. more like rescue, sandbags etc.

I'm thinking more like the tens of millions of rounds of ammo being purchased by the government, along with scores of anti-personnel vehicles. Retard.

yeah......tighten that tinfoil buddy...

And this is how you conveniently explain away this shit?

 

[ScienceRocks]

I hope we can get a reasonable republican majority in the senate in 2014! Enough to stop this shit.

 

[tinydancer]

I listened to the key parts of his speech. It was bat shit crazy. Obama is promising to preserve the planet with the military.

And he used the phrase "preserve the planet". Un freaking real.

Hey...maybe you'll get lucky and the government will never help you if the Mother Nature takes an ugly turn around where you live.

Way to make a strawman.

The President is saying that due to climate change we can expect to respond to more humanitarian crises, as we responded to these humanitarian crises:
Operation Unified Assistance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Operation Unified Response - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Before you make another strawman, let me defang it. You don't need to pretend to be a Seismologist or Geologist. It doesn't matter what exact physical events caused the tsunami and earthquake above. The President is saying we can expect more humanitarian crises.

No they aren't. Not anymore. There are no more nails to be hammered.

 

[Statistikhengst]

What a fucking jackass.

Are you talking about yourself, perhaps?

Here, here is the title of the OP:

Obama To Cadets: You will be fighting Climate Change..

And here is the text that was quoted in the OP:

Obama:..."Keep in mind, not all international norms relate directly to armed conflict. In the face of cyber-attacks, we are working to shape and enforce rules of the road to secure our networks and citizens. In the Asia Pacific, we are supporting Southeast Asian nations as they negotiate a code of conduct with China on the South China Sea, and are working to resolve territorial and maritime disputes through international law.

That’s why, next year, I intend to make sure America is out front in a global framework to preserve our planet..."

Actually, what the President said makes a lot of sense. Our military has very often also engaged in humanitarian relief:

Humanitarian Operations

There are five humanitarian programs listed there, all signed into law and part of the military LONG before Obama became president.

For instance, the Denton Program:

http://www.charleston.af.mil/library/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=4140

BTW, many Christian organizations in the USA love these humanitarian programs, they praise them heavily and they also contribute to what they call a good cause, in spite of the fact that those programs prohibit the transport of religious materials to crisis zones around the world.

Look:

The Denton Program

Denton Program: School Bus to Haiti!


So, yeah, someone here is a fucking jackass, but it's not the President. He is doing what practically every president before him has done: to address the issues of the day before the military (in this context). As cllimate change causes more crisis regions all across this beloved planet of ours, then our military will be engaging in more and more humanitarian missions as a result. The adults in the room understand this principle.

And why do you hate Christians so? Shame on you.

Our military is being trained to fire upon fellow citizens because of the impending rise in sea levels, the anticipated riots from food shortages, and the millions of deaths from C02.

sure if you think like a retard thats what they are doing. more like rescue, sandbags etc.
