We suffered through the closing of Loring Air Force Base in 1994.

My prayers go out to all the states that will lose their bases and their jobs. Pity. The illegals are going to take over the United States and we will have less protection. Anyone see the irony in this?

Although I have sympathy for those who lose their jobs, this is a good thing. Too much money is wasted maintaining an inefficient basing system. Unfortunately, establishing and closing military bases is a politicized process, which sometimes supercedes military requirements. Congress set up these commissions to take the politics out of it or at least have a convenient whipping boy. I wish the Pentagon could run this process by itself.

Yes mam...

I find it absolute lunacy that we don't bolster our borders and yet weaken our armor...

*sighs*
