Many years ago I took an upper division class at university. It was Theory & Dynamics, an ROTC class covering international relations and the UCMJ . A military briefing was required, my topic was this very problem. My conclusion was that it was a no win scenario and the only logical solution was green energy and an end to fossil fuels dependency. Here we are. I was offered a commission but turned it down. My feeling was that acceptance would result in bright time before I finished boot camp. In retrospect, one of my better decisions.
