In Bermuda, a tour guide said that a newsman--I think Sam MacDonald--had publicly called on the U.S. to close its army base in Bermuda because it was basically a country club, complete with lush golf course, at the expense of U.S. taxpayers. And, after he embarrassed the Pentagon enough, the base was indeed closed. Bermudians were not too happy about it initially, but they're over it. And our national security seems to have survived the closing just fine.
So, how about closing some of the following? We don't any longer fight wars as we did when we established all of the following. When the hell is the government going to acknowledge that it's not 1947 any more? At a minimum, bring these troops back home, spread them out among our many U.S. bases and let them spend their dollars in the U.S., so we both cut spending and get some stimulus.
