Maybe Texas Should Kick All Military Bases Out. [View all]

If they're so worried about training operations by the military there, they should be even more worried about all of the military bases already in the state. Maybe the governor should call out the Texas National Guard to shut them all down and force the military out of Texas altogether. Here's a list:

I did my USAF Basic Training at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, and some further training at Goodfellow AFB near San Angelo. I suspect that those bases, and all the rest of them in the list above have some major impact on the economy of that state. But, who knows what takeover of Texas is being planned at those bases. Texas should worry, I'm sure.
