If we need to close bases, then close them in other countries where we aren't wanted anyway.

Major criteria to determine if bases stay open focus on the current and future value they can provide. The latest word from the Pentagon is that about 10 to 15 percent of the nation's 425 major installations could be on the list. >snip< He noted that a California-based Boeing Space Shuttle program was moved to Texas and a lot of engineers did not move with the project. That shortage of experienced people was officially cited as a contributing factor to the Columbia shuttle disaster. >snip< Closure of the bases would leave holes in defense needs and it would be unrealistic to consolidate their activities at another installation, area officials believe. - rvijay <rvijay07 Friday, May 13, 2005 6:23 PM US base closures. > What do you think of the US base closures in the news ? > > Thanks. > > Vijay To send an email to - > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
