closing of the Vieques bombing range

This particular site is a beautiful tropical island, unlike the deserts of Nevada where extensive training/testing takes place including underground 'pops'. I have no problem with desolate areas being used for this. The loud squeals were not a majority consensus, but they sure got the media coverage.

And lots of Nevada folks no doubt think the desert is a most beautiful place - so go blast some deserted island...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, of course. Besides, Obammy doesn't even want citizens spending their money in the Sin State, let alone federal dollars being spent there. Let's just take the no bombing windfall money and send it to PR to make up for their no bombing shortfall money and everybody's happy. The bomber crews can take the bomb run days off and go to the local pub and play cards.

Winner, winner, winner. Unless we really need those bombers some time in the future.
