Isn’t it bad enough that they are getting BRAC’d?

I am a big fan of small bases ….. and there are fewer and fewer of them. NAS Brunswick, a moment of silence, will soon go the way of NAS Cecil Field (in 2005 they realize what everyone knew in the mid-90’s – stupid decision to close it). Great base that the non-warfighting, beancounting, and history-deficient (an idea like moving HC-4) now will kill.

As the military continues its retreat from the great-circle route to Europe, Maine will soon see one of its last Blue Angles show.

Well, look-e here.

COUNTDOWN TO THE STATEWIDE PROTEST/VIGIL AT BRUNSWICK
NAVAL AIR STATION

When: Saturday, Sept. 10, 2005

Where: March begins at Brunswick Mall,
and ends at NASB Main Gate

Time: 9 A.M. (at the Mall)

The Event We're Protesting:
The Navy's "Blue Angels" Air Show

Theme of Our Protest:
"Stop the Worship of the Gods of War!"

And who is protesting?

Also joining us will be Kathy Kelly (Founder: Voices in the Wilderness) and Cindy Sheehan (Founder: Gold Star Families for Peace)

Yes, the professional body gibbet’r .

Calling their action "Stop the Worship of the Gods of War! Say No to the Blue Angels Air Show," VFP is planning a rally on the Brunswick mall to be followed by a march to the front gate of the Naval Air Station. Over 40,000 people are expected to attend the air show thus creating the opportunity to reach with many with our anti-war message.

The VFP intends to concentrate on four key themes as it builds this action. The themes are the obvious idolatry of weapons, the enormous cost of war as social spending is cut, the need for conversion of the military-industrial complex, and the military recruiting nature of the air show.

They will get good support from the People’s Democratic Republic of Bowdoin.

You know where the ”relief tube” needs to be used.
