I would like to see this done on every military installation and would like to see the VA hospitals go the same way. Our military can handle any job in both situations. I see no need for civilians on a military installation.
Under Clinton, the military started hiring civilians to do the jobs that military used to do. My hubby says Bush tried to do away with this practice, but was unable to do it. Once you hire the civilians they become unionized and you are screwed.
