I think what he is saying is technically true, though the conclusion doesnt follow. It is technically true because the US Military could easily be the largest single polluting organization in the world (because it has way more employees and vehicles than any other organization). By that token, the next biggest gov't agency would probably be USPS because of the miles of driving they do.
That does not mean, however, that the most effective path for stopping pollution starts there. For example, automobile fuel efficiency standards, or subsidies for solar power, etc could all offer more opportunity for reducing climate emissions than what is possible in reducing the US military usage of fossil fuels.
