Washington, D.C. - Today in a joint statement at the Pentagon, the U.S. Army and Greenpeace announced a unique partnership which they say is mutually beneficial. The announcement to replace the aging fleet of High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV) came as no surprise. The choice of vehicle to replace them, however -- made quite a splash.

"We have decided that we can fight our nation's wars in a cleaner -- and more environmentally friendly way," said Colonel Robert Ingraham, "and what better way to do it than with the Toyota Prius."

The Prius, a fully hybrid electric car from Japanese automaker Toyota, can get over 50 miles per gallon. It also has a perk which makes it a highly tactical vehicle without modification, says Ingraham.

"It's extremely quiet. You could drive this car right up the ass of al Qaeda and they wouldn't even hear you until you it was all over."

Pentagon casualties, metric improvement, and Fat Leonard’s least dignified phase.

A State Department map that relocated most of Africa, one ambitious government travel card, and 5,200 medical students moved from dorms that definitely do not have mold.
