I was very disturbed about two of the facilities on the Base Realignment and Closure Commission. One was the Lt. Paul K. Allen Jr. Army Reserve Station. Obviously, the Pentagon doesn't understand how critical the Lt. Paul K. Allen Jr. Army Reserve Station is to our national security. The Lt. Paul K. Allen Jr. Army Reserve Station is important because...well...uh...well...it's where I took my ASVAB, that's why.
It is strange though, how many Guard and Reserve stations are being closed considering how dependent we are on them in Iraq.
One of the more disturbing items is the phasing out Walter Reed Medical Center. What the heck? Yeah, its not like we have any wounded. This and the intermitent plans to close VA hospitals just goes to show, these guys don't give a rats ass about the troops. But, we knew that.
Also, it it bugged me on a civic pride level.
