Military passive sonar (sound navigation and ranging) is killing and causing whales to avoid their major feeding and breeding grounds while temporarily deflecting from the high frequency sound coming from this unknown source. This event is raising hell in the political sector. Scientists have found many similarities between all the beached whales that have been in the same area that military sonar was being used. Military sonar is affecting the life of whales
Military War cause and effect All living things need the resources provided by our natural world to live, leading to them adapting to specific environments.

Currently, approximately 203,000 military members, or 14.5 % of the military, are women. Still, some have doubts about how useful they can be.
