Surely the Pentagon knows *why* we've remained on a war footing for over 60 years?

It seems that the Pentagon is trying to drawn attention to the fact that the oil is nearly all gone. But I refuse to believe that they don't know that the reason we have a world-wide deployment is in order to keep control of the oil and the shipping lanes that lead to the oil. When the oil is gone, we won't need a million-man army and a 500-ship navy. Surely they know that.

I really liked this quote:

Achieving an energy transformation at the Department of Defense "will require the commitment, personal involvement , and leadership of the secretary of defense and his key subordinates," the report says.

Wouldn't it have been easier to say, "This will have to wait until we have some Democrats in office."?
