Not to mention that President Obama kept his favorite DC-area golf course open (Andrews).

Just one ignorant and untrue remark can destroy the credibility of your entire list - fix it.

Military golf courses are not supported by public funds, they are paid for by their customers. They must pay for the irrigation water that they use and everything else. This is why they are called a "non-appropriated fund activity". See the difference. While the Park Service may be stupid enough to close venues that do not require public funds to operate, the military is not that stupid.

One other minor correction. Military chaplains have not been furloughed. The dispute is over contract civilian clergy who stand in when military chaplains are not available. Some continue to work, others don't, depending on the terms of the specific contract. All military contractors are in the same boat: some are working others are not.
