New U.S. military base closings "will be tsunamis in the communities they hit," the chairman of the commission that will help decide which facilities survive said Tuesday as his panel met for the first time.
This is a stupid thing to say -- first given that no base closure ever killed 200,000, nor did any tsunami save any money. Closing bases may be a misguided way of pinching pennies, but with OSSIFIED KLEAGLE and THE GREAT ALASKAN PIG peeking from behind every gold-plated Congressionally-inspired edifice, what's the choice?
