We are going to war and closing military bases. Now that makes a lot of nonsense.
And we are such wussies we can't even declare war after the worst attack in American history. Really sad.
More sad is the fact we have about a third of the Naval power we had in the Gulf War. It's sad that due to these closings we had a ship transit the Suez alone two days away from any other United States Navy ship and after doing so a was attacked. It's sad we no longer have a 2 carrier group presense 24/7/365 where we have a national interest. We can not afford more closing of anything. We had fighters due to things like condition of readiness and distance that were unable to save the Pentagon from attack.
We are not in any sense near the military capibilities we had even under Jimmy Carter. We do not have those resources because two other POTUS and congress shut it down. And now we try for three at a time of war? Sometimes GOP does not know best nor do the Dems.
