If Thune's career depends on needless military bases then as a tax payer I say too bad.
If it wasnt for the BRAC then no military base would ever be closed.
Will you think that when we lose a Senate seat? One vote may decide the future make up of the Supreme Court. One vote may decide the future of Social Security Reform. One vote may decide U.S. foreign policy.
