I have a question about the subject. How, and why, did Carver get a
desert or deserts? Which ones -- big ones like the Atacama or Sahara,
or little ones like they have in Utah? And how are the deserts seen to
be "just"? I've never heard of an unjust desert, so does that mean it
was very easy to find ones that are "just"?

Or it could be that he just likes to gtive human qualities to inanimate
objects. Hasn't he also said that Google and/or his computer talk to him? His
current concerns with justice may also reflect his current legal problems.

No, maybe he's back to talking about the military. Perhaps he's trying
to tell us something about his record?

It's too bad Krooger is such a coward. Otherwise, he'd have had the
stones to shoot himself in the foot in order to get sent home.

Speaking of which, Turdborg is still worshiping at the altar of
Blaming One's Enemies. As he whined to Earl Geddes after grossly
misunderstanding a simple explanation:

One of these days Earl you're going to learn that communications failures
reflect on both the reader and the writer.

Not everything written in English is perfectly understood by all competent
readers of English.

In other words, when Krooger fails to explain himself properly and
somebody misunderstands him, it's the other person's fault for not
listening Kroofully enough. Similarly, when Krooger fails to
understand somebody, it's the other person's fault for not explaining
in stupid enough terms.
