Gimmie a break! If they can't police their own backyards how can they
protect ours? Something's wrong with this picture.


Ed,

I'm not sure you have a handle on how large these areas are. You can
enter the training center grounds and drive for _hours_ in a more or
less straight line. The only effective means of patrol is by air. A 58D
costs upwards of five grand an hour to keep in the air. Is it worth it?

It takes a special kind of stupid to sneak onto a live fire range.

And... there is a fence around many of the desert ranges. It's six
inches high- put there to protect the desert tortise.
