Are those closings in districts where local congress has them open for votes and they’re just depleting resources? Like non working food stamp collectors?
If something like that were going on, then sure.
We’ve cut back a massive number of bases.
If the type of thing is going on that you touch on, then we’ve been lied to in that we were supposed to be paying to support our military.
Use the bases for what they were intended. Get back up to speed.
We agree to cut them now, and in five years they come back for another round, and in five more they do it again.
Where does it end?
Enough! Get to work!
We need more active military and the bases we have.
I don’t think we’re plush in any department at the present.
Usually that’s the case. Congressman are more interested in money being spent in their own district than funding militarily necessities that aren’t.
