I wonder sometimes, is the evironmental movement is really concerned with the right things? For instance, wouldn't the entire world be a better environment if there were no terrorists? Well, it seems that the California gnatcatcher and trees are more important than properly trained soldiers. The Marines in Afghanistan don't know how to dig foxholes. Why? Because they can't practice at Camp Pendleton because it might disturb the environment. The Army, has had to place 250 foot "buffer zones" around the trees at Fort Hood to protect any potential nesting sites for the birds. That makes it really hard to practice field manuevers. We need to decide who's more important American soldiers or trees and birds
