Phil is obviously unaware that salvage sales typically include
large numbers of live, healthy trees.

This is why the salvage rider specifically includes trees "at risk
of fire or infection", so that harvest of green trees can be included
without regard to sustainable yield provisions of the National Forest
Management Act.

That's OK, Phil, many people take the word "salvage" at face value
in this context.

The American citizenry already has.  In many cases with their lives
during the battles to subjugate Native Americans, but in any
case with their tax dollars, both to support the Army and pay
treaty costs.
