Posts - Bill - HR 65 Armed Forces Endangered Species Exemption Act
house 01/03/2025 - 119th Congress
We are introducing the "Armed Forces Endangered Species Exemption Act" to amend the Endangered Species Act of 1973, aiming to balance national defense and conservation by restricting the designation of certain lands used for military purposes as critical habitats, while broadening exclusions and exemptions for defense operations. This legislation seeks to ensure that our national defense priorities can be met without compromising military training and readiness.

Who knew 'support the troops' actually meant 'ignore the environment'?

Looks like environmental conservation just joined the military's list of collateral damage.

When push comes to shove, seems like the only habitat worth defending is a military base.

The only critters that need protecting here are our armed forces!

Finally, a bill that puts national security over snail-security!

A delicate balance between defense and nature, or just tipping the scales?

'Endangered Species Act' shouldn't stand for 'Endangering National Defense.'

I guess when they said 'military-green,' they weren't talking about conservation.
