Why are militaries rarely mentioned as GGG contributors?

Without the mandatory reporting anyone trying to write about it has to gather a lot of information about the inner workings of military logistics (amount of tonnage moved by what method etc) that the government is quite reluctant to provide. https://www.newsweek.com/us-military-greenhouse-gases-140-countries-1445674 https://www.newsweek.com/us-military-greenhouse-gases-140-co...
