Saw this article and wondered why the SECDEF is trying to close domestic bases and shipyards? Why in a poor economy with high jobless numbers are they targeting anything domestically?

I know the anti-defense budget people are happy to kill anything military, but why shutdown installations that produces jobs here in the states? The article doesn't mention what other closures are proposed, but it seems to me we should keep domestic installations and close some of our foreign installations.

Well, without clicking the link, the military doesn't exist to create jobs.

Needs to happen overseas significantly, and especially in the middle east.

I can understand cutting foreign bases first, but now the purpose of military is to create jobs? Government spending creates jobs?

Are you a small government free market conservative?
