Put the brakes on BRAC

APP Editoral:

State and federal officials who have called for investigations into the rigged base closing process should be bombarding the Pentagon and other appropriate federal offices daily with renewed requests to put the brakes on the BRAC plans. The costs are wrong, the perceived ability of Maryland to handle the influx is wrong, and it's the wrong time in history — with our country at war — to uproot and compromise Fort Monmouth's vital role in protecting our servicemen and women.
