Plattsburgh is in Clinton County, NY which oddly enough wasn’t won by Hillary in either Senate election.

They also hated the military when I was stationed there.

I beg to differ. I was a native and appreciated the 380th. My sister married an MP from the base, and my parents rented and sold property to various base personal over the years. I also had friend from the base and worked on the base as a civilian in later years. Now, if you were single and went downtown looking for trouble, there was plenty to be found, depending on where you went. However, that's true no matter where you go or who you are. I will admit there were locals who disliked "outsiders", and the military base personal fit into that category. Sorry if you met up with some of these folks.

If it's any consolation, the base closing has been a major economic hit to the area. I was fortunate to have left there long before that occurred. I was sad to see it happen. I used to love to see the FB111's taking off at night!
