    It's an older article but I thought it was worth posting. Maybe you can show it to some of your friends who proudly display their "Support the Troops" ribbon on their gas guzzler. ;)

    Doesn't fuel end up costing like $100 a gallon (not to mention however many lives that are lost) once it gets into the battlefield these days? I'd assume efficiency confers a tactical/strategic advantage as well.

    Yeah pretty much. I posted an article a month ago that stated such. Less fuel needed equals less convoys to protect, greater mobility and strategic ability for troops, increased flexibilty in foreign policy, and cleaner environment. Sounds like a good deal to me.
