With non-partison McNamara making the decisions? There's a surprize.
This shouldn't come as a shock.
Frankly, though, base closings have been a boon to many cities -- after the initial shock. Depends on how creatively local leaders handle the situation.
Here in Aurora/Denver, the old Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center campus is now the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and a beautiful facility.
The former Lowry Air Force Base is rapidly becomming an outstanding example of a new urban lifestyle community with housing and other stuff for most income groups.
It can be tough, but there is life after the military.
