Someone will benefit from training, whether the land is already owned or not. It may be from something as simpe as increased traffic from military personell using local stores, gas stations, etc. To not want that business for your state is short sighted. We have not sent a very nice message to our men and women in uniform with the opposition to the pinion expasion. And don’t kid yourself; the men and women on the ground pay attention to this sort of stuff. I did.

Military training should not be about economic development for either Colorado Springs or El Paso. If the Army has under-utilized training ranges in Texas that can meet the need without federalizing private property in Colorado, that were the training should happen.

Nice piece, Lon.
Now, if we could just… oh, never mind!
