    Now the military budget can just be given directly to the oil industry instead of needing to occupy hostile foreign countries.

    The Navy has its own oil rigs?

      I don’t think so. I’ve never heard of it, I can’t find any info about it with a quick Google, and other articles just say “surplus oil rigs” without specifying ownership. I think this is just a mistake by the author.
