The Defense Department on Friday proposed shutting down 33 of the 318 major military bases across the United States.
The Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has said it will save the US Government $48.8 billion dollars over the next 20 years, not to mention the revenue gathering when the lucrative propertys are sold to willing developers.......
I am wondering at this point of time as to why this is being done, or shall I say recommended. A lot of communties rely on the Military bases and the personel working there to keep there towns running. The closures could reek havoc...
Maybe they will have a few spare F16's for NZ to buy if this all goes throough..THat would be good for NZ's defense.....
