No.

Oh, well that's what you said? No real surfer would EVER want to be pulled in by a lifeguard but they save lots of lives.

No. Do you need a life guard to tell you that a 25 ft. wave will kill you?

Hilarious! The DoD has always considered climate in Defense planning both long and short term. Donʻt include the DoD in your alarmism. They know when to sound the alarm.

I'm far from an alarmist and nice dodge.

The responsibility of the Department of Defense is the security of our country. That requires thinking ahead and planning for a wide range of contingencies.

Among the future trends that will impact our national security is climate change. Rising global temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, climbing sea levels, and more extreme weather events will intensify the challenges of global instability, hunger, poverty, and conflict. They will likely lead to food and water shortages, pandemic disease, disputes over refugees and resources, and destruction by natural disasters in regions across the globe. --Chuck Hagel, 2014

I'm all for major cuts in DoD spending. Redeploy that money into Space Exploration, education and infrastructure projects.

Quantify major.

Maybe we should just be the biggest military spender in the world instead of the biggest, two times over.... We recently found $125B in wasteful spending in the DoD, that's a good start.
