It's nice to see all 3 bases in the region are growing as Ft. Bliss in EP and White Sands Missle Range by Las Cruces and Holloman AFB in Alamogordo. Also Cannon AFB at Clovis was to be shut down by BRACC but Gov Richardson and others fought for it to stay open and Krtland AFB in Albuqerque is expanding also so i hope if Obama is elected he'll not mess with these .

I think Fort Bliss, White Sands, and Holloman will be fine.. Cannon, may shut down, because its mission can be fused into one of the other AFB in the region.. like Hollomans. Holloman is pretty secure because it houses our new Raptors, and is the regions border defense base. Laughlin down in Del Rio its my understanding is a traning base.

White Sands will be fine, because it is the Militaries largest testing facility, and houses many nuke sights. Fort Bliss and Biggs tie into that as test center, and military readiness center.. the war games and so on gane be done here with little regard for the civilian population, due to the many miles of land these two bases have.
