This is great news. While it is great to streamline and save money, concentrating our entire air defense shield at a single base in Texas is an invitation to another Pearl Harbor attack.

Keeping it open with no mission is hardly better than
closing it. Once closed it could be redeveloped.
As a enclave its simply in limbo.
