An aiport is good for commerce and the economy. The military uses taxes and resources. America is very big. If it wished, the military could find another base somewhere else to relocate to. I don’t see why Miramar is the only place in this whole country that fits the military’s requirements. If we can move whole bases into Iraq in a matter of weeks, why can’t we move Miramar in a matter of years. Technology allows our military to be effective from just about anywhere.

With Miramar and MCRD it’s just a matter of the military protecting its turf.
