I don't understand the protest over Vieques Island. Okla. Fort Dix had live fire ranges for rifles and hand grenades.
Fort Sill is an artillery training center.
Okla. Next it was Fort Stewart, Ga., with live fire for tanks and helicopters, plus artillery demonstrations that required road closings because the shells crossed over them. The people in nearby Willow Grove have a naval air station in their backyard that has proved to be much more dangerous than Vieques. If you want the privilege and benefits of the United States, you have to take the good and the bad. We all have to pay the price for our security.
