Huge

Answer 3

Virtually everything on the planet is made out of carbon. "Carbon footprint" is a meaningless term that was invented in the last few months to make Americans feel guilty about not having brand new energy efficient appliances and leaving our lights on. Carbon is largely irrelevant to the envioronment.

Now if you want to ask "How much pollution is the war causing?" The answer is: a shitload.

Answer 4

big

Answer 5

well....a motorized Infantry Brigade uses about 3000 gallons of diesel fuel a day and about 22 short tons of ammunition during sustained combat.  

If the emissions of the military was a significant problem, then the obvious solution is to prohibit private ownership or operation of automobiles or at least restrict it as we did in WWII

Answer 6

Probably a lot less than Saddam's gas machine

Answer 7

Forcing democracy to its colonies such as the Philippines, South Korea, Germany and now being forced to Iraq.

I don't care as long as it's the most powerful that money can buy.
