Spanish and U.S. officials have signed an agreement to grant the U.S. military permanent presence at an air base in southwestern Spain, creating a center for a rapid reaction force to deal with crises in Africa and elsewhere.
Authorities signed the accord Wednesday in Washington after approval was delayed when U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry broke his leg ahead of a signing ceremony scheduled for June 1 in Madrid.

Moron.
Reading the article, I see that’s the name of the air base. I though you were commenting on John Kerry. LOL
Visited Moron once when I was stationed down in Rota. Seemed to me it was out in the middle of nowhere.
Apparently Morón means “hummock” or “dirt mound”. Makes perfect sense in Spanish, but there isn’t a solder alive that won’t pronounce it moron.
Moron, Spain — Was it a former SAC forward deployment base?
I read a cool alternate history story about Marxists who take over Spain, and their military leaders one by one turning against us, so that eventually US forces had to fight their way out.
Moi? (Channeling Miss Piggy)
