Moving tanks and dropping bombs is not an environmentally friendly process and there is no doubt that areas are devastated. And there is no doubt that 18-year-olds with a steering wheel are going to tear it up when given the chance.... The mistake is that the environmentalists pushed this issue to the point where something had to give.

Holding the military accountable??? For what? Doing their mission? And exactly how is one government agency going to hold another accountable? Fines? From who? The taxpayers again?

And again this issue is important, why? Because overall the military bases have lots of undisturbed land that holds tons of wildlife off limits to most. If they had been out destroying their land for the last 40 years, we wouldn't be discussing this, would we? And they are being asked to follow the lead of who? The same people who have already destroyed their own land, now want control.

Probably the best thing we can do is leave them alone for another 40 years.
