But blue has better contrast against my front sight...

"Green helmets" for "peacekeepers" that intervene on the part of micronesian islands that could theoretically be submerged by globular warming/cooling/drying/wetting/changing/stagnating/[whatever the mantra is this week].

More proof that watermelons are the enemy.

Well that depends, what shade of green are we talking here? Bright lime or fluorescent green? Certainly olive drab is "too evil and militaristic" for these lovers of da earf peace.  :P

Small island states, which could disappear beneath rising seas, are pushing the security council to intervene to combat the threat to their existence.

Can the UN peacekeepers shoot well enough to hit the Pacific Ocean?....  =|

The UN peacekeeping force (an oxymoron if ever there was one) is very good at keeping the peace, except in places where resistance is offered.

Bring it.
Let first world civilians see what they're paying for with "peacekeepers".

Besides, without the armies of the "Evil Rich Countries" American civilians outgun the UN.  Hell, without the rich armies, I outgun the UN.

I thought they were already busy dealing with the 50million climate change refugees we already have...  Oh wait, it didn't happen.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I'm pretty certain their ancestors combated their own threats and paddled around until they found a suitable place to colonize.

"Disappears" as in GOP-spending-cuts-type "disappears" or Sopranos-mob-type "disappears"?.....  [tinfoil]

Orwellian "Down the Memory Hole"-type disappears.
