Doug, a few years ago, there was another round of base closings to pare down the military budget. One of those forts was built in the 19th century to protect settlers from indians. Our congressman, Tom Andrews, a Democrat, voted to close that group of un needed bases. He was crucified in the next election. Why? because we had one of those useless bases right here in Maine. He was scheduled to appear on 60 minutes to talk about his decision, and the National Republican Committee pressured 60 minutes to drop it. Guess what? he lost the election to a republican. So much for fiscal responsibility.
