Anyone give a rats ass about the US Military Base Closings and Relocations?
The commission decided to side with the Pentagon in closing Fort Gillem and Fort McPherson in Georgia, Fort Monroe in Virginia, the U.S. Army Garrison in Selfridge, Michigan, and Fort Monmouth in New Jersey.

I think it's in the news because generaly speaking it's bigger than just a base closing. Off the top of my head it means...
The relocation of personel... and their civilian familes. Which means they'll have to find a new home, new job and new school for their kids.
The loss of civilian jobs at the base.
The loss of a few thousand personel who bought goods from the nearby towns. Which means a loss of money for business in those towns.
The list goes on and on. It's not just some place closing it's doors like the mom and pop pizza place around the block. It's a pretty big deal.
