EPA Approved ICBMs [www.strategypage.com]
Now this is just silly. Thanks to TramTown, I just read the above article about how new EPA regulations have forced the Air Force to replace the rocket fuel used in Minuteman III ICBM rockets, so that the air won't get polluted... at the launching end anyway....
This could just be a money wasting piece of silliness, but the new environmentally friendly rocket fuel has a shorter range - so in the interests of clean air, America is nominally a less-safe place.
What happened to all's fair in love and war? Mad Max would be in trouble if after the nuclear missiles land the EPA is still around. Perhaps their should just be one ICBM pointed to the EPA head offices to protect against future litigation ;)
