If Obama thinks closing military bases will save money,he is the Commander in Chief,he can do it himself. I have seen the results personnally. In 1993 BRAC closed Chanute AFB in Illinois. Prior to closing,the Air Force updated every building. The town left the base to rot. When I was there in 2011,the buildings were in ruins or untouched. Some of the barracks still had the original furniture . Now the AF is giving the town $14,000,000 to knock down a few buildings. The country can not afford another 4 years of this president. Maybe we just should not spend as much ?CT Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18009994376714215945noreply@blogger.com
