“...a minor story about an AFB closure...”.

Doctor, my understanding was that this was the Strategic Air Command base. I personally have very close friends who flew out of that base, and it is far from a minor closure. They flew as officers in the USAF and served this nation quietly 24/7 for many, many years. When they stopped 24/7 flights, they flew missions to Bosnia and other areas where the best and most experienced pilots and navigators were required to get in and out safely.

If any of this story is true, our President has had a “jump the shark” moment.

I meant “minor” as in Obama is destroying America and this is just one little step along the way.

BTW - I was stationed at Offutt AFB for four years in the early 1980’s. I worked on the communications equipment for the Airborne Command Post. You know, stuff like the two-turn-key equipment that sends the launch codes to the missile silos to launch atomic bombs, etc. So, yes. I am fully aware of the importance of Offutt AFB. But, again, the closing of Offutt is but a minor brush stroke in Obama’s overall painting of the destruction of America.
