Sila Calderon, the Hillary-like governor of Puerto Rico, says that the US should keep Roosevelt Roads Naval Base open.

Only one problem. Well, two problems.

First, she offers no reasons why, other than that it provides employment for Puerto Ricans. In other words, we should apparently do it as a charity.

Second, there's little benefit to the US to maintain Rosey Roads (other than the general benefit of having a base in that part of the Caribbean), since she made us shut down the weapons testing at Vieques, which it mainly supported.

Well, you can't say the woman lacks gall.

Y'know, the 100,000 residents immediately surrounding Ft Sill, OK (Army's Artillery School) have shown no evidence of sonically induced birth defects or psychological problems stemming from nearby explosions over much longer periods of time than anyone on that island. Close the range AND close the base. Screw em. Target and attack icebergs. Them things are amazingly resilient given that they're made of ice. And when you're done with them they melt and anything left on them (shrapnel, for instance) sinks to the bottom.
