The moonbats will be happy only when the base is removed.
Perhaps the best way to assure a sustained economy would be to ban TSW (Tight Sphinctered Women) from getting Phd’s in biology or enviromental sciences and setting up organizations for the specific purpose of having a job and making a difference.
The American economy is strong but the continued infestation of parasites could drag it under.
Well, he certainly fooled me.
I was down that way last year and it looked like the area around the fort had been invaded by California realestate agents and refugees.
The climate in that part of the Southwest is very favorable due in part to the elevation. Sierra Vista has grown from a small village, to town to large city over the years….many people retire there. I seriously doubt the Fort is responsible for the depletion of water; rather it is the explosion of residents in that area. The environmentalists etc. are most likely using models that do not reflect on individual aspects but rather models that only see one way. To find the truth, you must hire hydrologists who have no axes to grind and a proven track record. Fly-ways for migratory birds have great protection already.....perhaps a greater effort should be made in cleaning up after hundreds of illegal aliens leave trash on the otherwise, pristine desert.
“In the past, Silver and the Center for Biological Diversity sued the fort, claiming its existence leads to additional growth on and off the post and that is killing the San Pedro River.”
Gee, if they win this, then we could sue New York City on the grounds that additional growth in and around NYC is killing...
There really is no environment to save. The terrain is barren and the climate is brutal.
The lefties are after the fort because of what it does today. That mission is far more important than the demands from any pinheaded environmentalist.
Let them take a big bite of that Borax that pretends to be soil down there.
I live about 50 miles from Ft Huachuca. The terrain is NOT barren and the climate is mild (the high today is expected to be 81 deg). You don’t know what you are talking about.
Do you have a vegetable garden?
Given a choice of Tucson, Huachuca, or Phoenix...I’d pick Huachuca. Its ten degrees cooler and slightly more vegetation than Tucson. But lets be honest...you got cactus growing and thats just about it. For those of us in Bama...you are barren.
The person in questions is
1. A Male
2. A physician, ie, MD, not Ph.D.
Dr. Robin would be more helpful practicing medicine, not witchcraft environmentalism.
Ok Ok.... I’m a sexist bigot biased against female activists.
Our Boy Scout Troop has spent time in Sierra Vista, the post and surrounding National Parks. You are greatly mistaken. I take it you didn't make it to the mountains.
Ben, how did you miss this? http://nitro.biosci.arizona.edu/zeeb/butterflies/habitats/Huachuca.html
Those are indeed beautiful and you are right — that’s not what I’m referring to.
No, I hate veggies. I’m also a couple thousand feet lower (hence hotter) than Ft Huachuca. But we walked for an hour this morning in the ‘desert’, surrounded by mesquite & acacia.
I would think there is more environmental damage done by illegals passing through than the military. Our Boy Scout Troop picked up tons of garbage left by the illegals.
He blames it ALL on the Fort; Everything!
