If it wasnt for the BRAC then no military base would ever be closed.

"If it wasnt for the BRAC then no military base would ever be closed."
Lots of bases were closed before BRAC ever existed, e.g. Suffolk County AFB on Long Island, and Stewart AFB up river from New York City. Both had fighter interceptor squadrons for homeland defense back in Eisenhower's day. I wonder if a few fighters on alert would have ever been proved useful at those bases?
