British Army to Phase out Fossil Fuels to Attract Eco-Friendly Recruits
The British Army is considering phasing out fossil-fuel-powered tanks, APCs and lorries in order to save the planet and to attract more recruits who are worried about global warming....
Yeah, because war is so much more eco-friendly if it's waged without fossil fuels.
Armor training areas in particular always look like moonscape because nothing fucks with mother earth quite like a 140,000-pound tracked vehicle in a hurry. So if they're serious they should trade in their treads for hovercraft.

Yes, tankers do this shit just because they can.
