This stupidity crops up on a regular basis here.

Don't worry; ain't happening.

"This stupidity crops up on a regular basis here."

I wish I could share your comfort zone on this issue.

But, I cannot. This Chinese water torture has been very successful in other locales over the years. And Miramar will be no exception. Maybe not next year, but within a decade the Marines will be sent packing.

Unquestionably.

The civilian populace has a penchant for displaying a very short memory span...and manifesting raw avarice and greed when it comes to "confiscating" attractive Military property. And, when the local real estate is wall to wall bodies, the pressure will be just too great. Miramar is toast!!!

As an aside, just think of what incredible resort property will be developed when the Navy is ultimately forced to give up NAS Coronado. (That thought crossed my mind last week as I drove from our quarters at the Air Station, out the "back gate", and down Ocean Drive to the Del Coronado.)
