Pentagon's Long List of Bases to Close

From the Christian Science Monitor:

As the Pentagon prepares to embark on its first base closings in a decade, it is already clear that this round will be unlike any that has come before, both in its scope and its intent.

The Defense Department has made no secret of the fact that this year's list of suggested closings figures to be the biggest in history. But unlike past rounds, when the process focused primarily on paring down a bloated military, the goal this year is largely to recast the military.
And then they'll keep lying and saying Clinton closed all the bases. BTDT, got the t-shirt, already threadbare.
