OK, I admit it -- I DON'T like the prospect of driving an extra hundred miles to use the PX at West Point, so hooray for SuBase NLon. On the other hand, 12 years ago when closing it was first proposed, we had a hundred attack boats in the fleet and six bases for them. Now we have _forty_ boats in the fleet and we're still going to have six bases. Something's wrong with this picture. The squids are going to have to sacrifice something -- perhaps something valuable that we'll wish we had some day -- in order to keep lipstick on this pig. And God help us all when EPA begins to snoop around.
The military should probably close all the Post Exchanges and other base stores. Instead they could provide military personnel with a tax exempt number and let you guys shop at WalMart tax free. Save both you and the government some money.
what you said... i'll bet that played MORE than a little bit into the decission.
