Brooks City BaseYes, they shut down the runways years ago. How much need is there for an Air Force Base with inactive runways.

I am not saying where. All I am saying is that this move looks like Bush does not mind cutting pork, as long as its not his state.

Well Clinton loathed the military so I would not expect to see much of the military there. Nevertheless, don't kid yourself that this committee did not factor in Bush when it came to Texas. After all he is the President and will sign end up signing the bill.

Nope.. I prefer a Wall to Guards.
Putting guards on the border is moronic.

Read post above.
Guards is a stupid, idiotic idea.. A wall would be a much, much better option.

Thank you for a grown up view of a very serious decision. So many of the replies on Free Republic seem so childish and silly, some seem even rude.
I have been trying to follow the closing and it seems to me if I remember right Georgia will have many closing but will end up with a plus in personal.
Florida loses Pensacola Naval Base and it's been there since I can remember. My husband was scheduled to go there in 1943 after he had completed training at Iowa State. They then started cutting the Naval Air Cadets. I don't remember if Florida has a plus or minus in personal.

Cleveland loses 1,028+ (IIRC) and Columbus gains some (Ohio). Either way, these Finance and Accounting jobs should be outsourced any way. JMHO.
To: Irontank
Amen.
For some reason, around here, any and every dollar spent on the military is wisely spent.
Pork is pork.
