The U.S. Taxpayers own the 11,000 acres that Roosevelt Roads is on and the 24,000 acres on Vieques.

The Puerto Ricans have all kinds of fancy plans for that property, if they can get it.

That's a big 'if'. The Navy and the Congress don't want to give it to them and they can't just take it.

Puerto Rico: Turnover of Roosevelt Roads would be boon for island, investor says

They even want the U.S. Taxpayers to pay for a $550 million dollar bridge between Vieques and Ceiba.

They're nuts.

Can you elaborate more on this theory about shutting down a base and a massive construction spree?

There always seems to a lot of construction right before bases close. Go figure.

The Puerto Ricans talk like our military bases are nothing but adult daycare centers for their jobless.

They could care less about the needs of our servicemen and women.

"The move is not the result of anti-American sentiment on Puerto Rico,..."

Oh no, of course it's not.

The Army will save $150 million in construction costs at Fort Buchanan, PR.

You lose again Puerto Rico! The Army will spend that money in Texas!

Es Stupido!

Maybe our President acts fast and will effect the move prior to the next election. I am impressed at how fast W and Company make changes that are needed!!
